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 replacement to tiles and looks like back painted glass. With a special hard coated top layer for extra scratch and chemical resistance, cleaning and maintaining your panels is nearly effortless.
Lustrolite is currently available in a range of 7 stunning colours. Custom 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.
Please note - Lustrolite cannot be used behind gas cooktops and must be a minimum of 2" away from ceramic, electric or induction cooktops.
How does Lustrolite compare to glass?
Lustrolite has 20x the impact strength than 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 wood working tools.
Better still, Lustrolite is more cost effective than glass, and when compared to tiles, there is no need for grouting and takes about a third of the time to install.
Does Lustrolite have a warranty?
The Lustrolite warranty covers faulty materials for a period of 10 years from the date of sale by Abacus Manufacturing Group subject to the terms and conditions and exclusions contained within the entire warranty document.
How thick is the Lustrolite panel?
Lustrolite is 5/32 inches (4 mm) thick.
How hygenic is Lustrolite?
Lustrolite is extremely hygienic and it's non-stick surface will not harbor the build up of mold, bacteria, soap or calcium. Due to the large size of the panels grout usage is eliminated.
How scratch resistant is Lustrolite?
Lustrolite is technically rated to a surface hardness of 6H (pencil hardness).
A durable hard coating on the outer surface provides high scratch and chemical resistance and affords effortless cleaning.
Lustrolite will not scratch, crack, warp, stain or discolor from normal residential use.
How is Lustrolite Cleaned?
Lustrolite is easy to clean using warm soapy water and a micro fiber cloth, chamois, or squeegee.
Lustrolite has a protective coating making it more resistant to low level scratches.
Can you backlight Lustrolite?

Beautifull!!! Good Job!
Awesome build hope to install this in my home
Incase that the wall is not perfectly flat, Would it be better to put a wood panel before applying these acrylic panels?
Or how to deal with this kind of situation?
Many thanks!
what blade did you use in the makita plunge saw? I have asked makita if they have a blade that cuts acrylic for the saw but they said no, what do you suggest?
I would go for the finest one they have. You need to move forward slowly but the blade can run fast. I like the scribe cut on the Makita plunge saw. That first shallow cut takes the stress out of it.
Great tutorial! thank you for sharing. We will share this with all out customers and followers!
How do you suggest to do clad in bathrooms on top of lux or wedi?
Can this be used on Cabinets Fronts?
Yes you can stick it with neutral curing silicone. I am not sure what you would do with the edges but they do sell edging strips so you could mitre them like a picture frame
