Black Dapple

Made from

Chopping boards and plastic packaging

We think this beauty looks like a cross-section of marble. The intense black colour of its base contrasts with the weave of white veins. Playful yet sophisticated, Dapple’s high contrast pattern gives it a lively personality that evokes the material’s millions of years of biological, geological and manmade processes.

Available in thicknesses of 12mm and 20mm.

Pattern Examples

All of our panels are made using 100% recycled materials. Surface patterns can vary in style and tone and may display colour inclusions between batches. Here are some examples of current and past patterns. Discuss your needs with us prior to order if this could be a problem.

Panel Information

We are a small batch manufacturer using craft techniques to make our materials. The raw materials we source for our products vary and therefore the subsequent patterns in our surfaces can vary between batches. If you strictly need to minimise colour variation, discuss your needs with us prior to order to make sure all your material comes from the same batch.

We try very hard to make our sheets as blemish-free as we can and see every quirk, imperfection and mottle telling a different recycling story. Please contact us to discuss this if it could be a problem.
