Heron in Marine Blue

Made from

White goods

Featuring a breezy cool-toned aqua wash, with rippling hues from the big blue, Heron in Marine Blue is afforded a breath of fresh coastal air.

Although it may be unbelievable, this material has originated from such humble beginnings as discarded kitchen fixtures. With its varied colour palette made up of fantastic flecks of ochre, marine azure, and pearlescent white, here, would-be waste is transformed into a surface that’s akin to the treasure of Triton’s deep.

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

Pattern Examples

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 ordering 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.

Price & Lead Times

Panels are not available for purchase through the website. Please get in touch to enquire about prices, mentioning the quantity and thickness of panels you require. Most stock items will be dispatched within 5 working business days from payment of order. Standard cutting, CNC and simple finishes will be dispatched within 3 weeks. Other items, including complex CNC work, fabrication, assembly work and custom materials, will take a little longer to process. If you need to order something urgently, please contact us first. We will do everything we can to assist you.

Smile Plastics’ terms and conditions apply to all sales.

Raw Materials

Due to the nature of the raw material and in response to UV exposure, you may find Heron will yellow over time. For this reason, we do not recommend Heron for external use or for applications in constant / direct sunlight. If discolouration does occur, there are restorative processes that can be considered to bring the original surface appearance back. Please review the handling instructions or get in touch for further information.
