Satin Ice is Australia's premier acrylic sheet available in a wide range of vibrant colours. Satin Ice sheets have a specially designed satin finish on one or both sides offering a unique combination of brilliant light diffusion and high light transmission.
These great lighting properties combined with their excellent resistance to scratching and wear mean there's no better choice than Satin Ice.
Widely used in applications of lighting, building facades, store fixtures, interior design, furniture and displays these sheets have limitless potential.
Available as both sheets and tubes, with sheets ranging from 3mm up to 25mm thick.

Recyclable
Recyclable products and materials can be reprocessed and transformed into new goods at the end of their useful life. Materials composed of a single substance (for example, aluminium or concrete) are generally easier to dismantle and recycle than those composed of multiple substances. Employing recyclable materials offers several benefits – reduced use of new resources, reduced landfill, reduced costs for manufacturers.
Production waste is recyclable
Manufacturing processes inevitably produce waste; environmentally responsible manufacturers ensure this waste is minimized and recyclable. Production waste can sometimes be reprocessed for reuse in the same production process. Alternatively, production waste may be reused in the manufacture of other products or materials (post-industrial recycled content).
Packaging is reduced
The aim is to reduce the amount of packaging required to effectively house and transport products and materials, resulting in less waste material destined for landfill, lower manufacturing costs for producers, and reduced transportation costs. Some manufacturers implement returnable packaging systems or heavily in recyclable packaging. Paper, glass, metal and board packaging can be readily recycled.
Reduces heating or cooling load
Heating and cooling load is the amount of energy consumed to maintain a desired temperature within a building. Project design – and the materials and products employed – plays a significant role in optimizing the performance of heating and cooling systems, to reduce the energy expended on internal climate control. Elements that affect heating and cooling load include heat transferred through glass windows and doors, infiltration of outside air, and the impact of people, lighting and electronic equipment.
Reduces energy consumption
Making use of materials and products that reduce energy consumption can have a major influence on the environmental impact of a building project. Teaming passive design strategies (orientation, building shape, natural lighting and ventilation) with low-energy lighting, thermally efficient insulation and low-e glass can reduce a project’s reliance on heating and cooling systems, resulting in lower energy consumption. Likewise, use of energy-efficient appliances, alternative energy systems (solar, hydro) and building management systems can also reduce the project’s carbon footprint.
Energy Star rated
Energy rating schemes evaluate the energy efficiency of common household appliances – refrigerators and freezers, clothes washers and dryers, dishwashers and airconditioners. Energy Star is an international standard that promotes low-energy-consumption products. Compliant products use automatic “sleep” modes or low-energy standby settings.
