Charcoal

Made from

Plastic packaging

Charcoal is a Classics material with white streaks giving it a “zhuzh” that draws the eye in. We’d say stars at night or gracefully smudged chalk on a blackboard.

What about you? Whatever it says to you, Charcoal is a versatile canvas for your design. Perfect for quietly making a statement, it can also be backlit to bring the details in the pattern out even more.

Charcoal is made from reclaimed medical equipment, combined with “waste” food packaging. Could it be just what the doctor ordered?

Available in thicknesses of 5mm, 12mm and 20mm.

Panel Information

We are a batch manufacturer using craft techniques to make our products. We source a variety of raw materials, and therefore the patterns and colours in our surfaces can vary between batches. If you need to minimise colour variation, please discuss your needs with us before ordering, so we can ensure all your products come from the same batch.

We work hard to ensure our panels are as free from blemishes as possible, but by their nature, no two panels are the same. For us, every quirk, imperfection and mottle tells a different recycling story. Panels are supplied with a single-sided semi-matt finish as standard, and can also be supplied double-sided should your intended application require it. Please specify this when ordering.

Price & Lead Times

Panels are not available for purchase through the website. Please get in touch to enquire about prices and lead times, mentioning the quantity and thickness of panels you require. Smile Plastics’ terms and conditions apply to all sales.

Edge Finishing

We offer a range of in-house finishing services to suit the needs of your creative project.
