What is Lustrolite?

Lustrolite is an award-winning high gloss acrylic wall panel which is mainly used for bath and shower walls and kitchen backsplashes.

Lustrolite is a perfect alternative to tiles and looks exactly like back painted glass. With a special hard coated and waterproof top layer for extra scratch and chemical resistance, cleaning and maintaining your panels is effortless.

Lustrolite is currently available in a range of nine stunning colours. Bespoke colours and sizes are available with a minimum order quantity of 200 sheets.

What types of applications is Lustrolite used for?

Lustrolite is designed for use on any indoor vertical surface in a residential or commercial environment. It is ideal for bath surrounds and shower wall applications, kitchen and bathroom backsplashes and cabinet doors.

(Lustrolite cannot be used behind gas cooktops and must be a minimum of 50mm away from ceramic, electric or induction cooktops. Please note gas hob accessories are available to be used in conjunction with Lustrolite)

How does Lustrolite compare to glass?

Lustrolite has 20x the impact strength of glass yet is only half the weight.

This makes Lustrolite® economical to ship, store and handle during installation. Lustrolite can also be cut, drilled and fabricated on-site with standard tools.

Better still, Lustrolite is more cost-effective than glass and takes about a third the time to install as no templating is required. When compared to tiles there is no need for grout or tile adhesive.

How is Lustrolite cleaned?

Lustrolite is easy to clean using warm soapy water and a microfibre cloth, chamois, or squeegee. It has a protective coating making it more resistant to low level scratches.
