What is the difference between Acrylic and PVC panels?Updated 16 days ago

Acrylic panels have a class 3 fire rating and so aren't suited to be used in a kitchen.

PVC panels have a class 1 fire rating and can be fitted behind a hob as long as they are at least 8-10cm from the back of the burner. If it is a gas hob, then we recommend a piece of toughened glass over the hob area, to protect the panel from flames.
