Features of Acrylic and its application in residential interior design

What is Acrylic material?

What is Acrylic material? This is a common question asked by many customers. Acrylic is also known as Mica – this is a high-grade plastic material with the scientific name of PMMA. The product is refined from petroleum, so it has a shiny surface with a variety of colors from smooth to wood grain.

Acrylic materials are available in a variety of colors for users to choose from

Properties of acrylic materials include:

  • The product can be flexibly bent into many different unique shapes
  • Has good heat resistance and perfect penetration
  • High durability, smooth surface, eye-catching colors
  • Acrylic volume is much lighter than other mirror gloss products, making the construction and installation process easier.

Why is Acrylic material chosen to be used a lot in interior construction?

The reason Acrylic material is used in interior construction is because:

  • Acrylic colors are extremely rich, with nearly 50 different colors from solid colors to luxurious wood grain colors. Customers can easily choose the right Acrylic color for their design needs and preferences.
  • Unlike natural wood, Acrylic has very good moisture resistance, fire resistance, does not warp, shrink during use, so this is always a safe material when used in kitchen cabinets. Along with that, the flat wood surface is 2 times smoother than when painted, so the high scratch resistance helps the product have high durability.

Because of its high durability, normal physical impacts will hardly damage Acrylic materials. Moreover, cleaning and sanitizing the product is also easy. In particular, with light scratches, just use a polishing pad to make the surface shiny like new.

Use in living room furniture

The blend of Acrylic materials is well suited to modern and contemporary interiors to ensure every space is lavishly decorated. If you want your living room, media room or home bar to be embellished with bright colors or large patterns, Acrylic is a great choice to balance out these bold attributes.

Use in bedroom furniture

Many homeowners tend to use Acrylic to reduce colors or vivid patterns in the bedroom space. Although only working with a small role, this material is enough to make your bedroom more impressive and attractive.

Use in kitchen furniture

Using acrylic materials in the kitchen space is extremely reasonable, because this is an area that tends to be cluttered and much lower in humidity. So to keep the space clean and bright, Acrylic is the perfect solution.

Acrylic materials are suitable for all design styles and sizes in your family’s kitchen space. Plus, there’s no room for the two words “messy”, which on the contrary adds to the look and feel of natural light.

Acrylic is often used to design kitchen interiors

Acrylic materials can be said to be a great resource to maximize the use of space in the home. Especially the kitchen area and family dining area.

Currently, in Vietnam, there is no facility to directly produce Acrylic materials, so this material is mainly imported from abroad. Besides, Acrylic is very easy to scratch, so the machining process is very difficult. This requires machines to have high synchronization and accuracy. Because of these characteristics, Acrylic is considered the most advanced material in the interior design market. It has the highest cost of surface materials today.
