Acrylic Benchtops
O'Brien Group
Acrylic benchtops create a visually seamless look, allowing for bench tops that can cover large areas without joins or edges.
Acrylic can be thermoformable (can be shaped using heat and pressure) which means we can create a wide variety of shapes; with design possibilities for an impressive range of applications. Acrylic is usually made up of about 30% acrylic and 70% PVC. The higher the acrylic % the better quality, heat resistance and strength (we only use high quality Acrylic).

Acrylic is very malleable, we can heat the material and mold it into almost any shape. So rather than list every possible permutation, here are options that are typically applied to Acrylic benchtops.
- Edge thickness: 36mm
- Edge shape: Square
- Sinks: Undermount integrated Corian sinks. The bottom base is stainless steel and the walls of sink are made of Corian.
One unique thing about acrylic sinks is that they can be made of the same material and pattern as a benchtop, so it looks seamless! - Corners: Square and radius
- Seamless joins are standard with Acrylic benchtops
Acrylic Benchtops are ...
One of the most widely used benchtop types in the world. They are used in household kitchens, commercial kitchens, bathrooms, offices and in almost any other area that requires a solid surface.
They offer the look of stone or marble, but have a unique warmth when touched thanks to the mix of all natural minerals blended with high-performance acrylic. Acrylic can be shaped in a seamless manner, which means that there are no joins or crevices which creates an aesthetically stunning look as well as being more hygienic and easy to clean.
An Acrylic benchtop is akin to a commercial-grade benchtop – you will have seen them in pubs, restaurants, shops etc but with an affordable price tag they are a great option for any kitchen project.
They are easy to clean and relinquish colour staining very well. They are not immune to staining though and can bubble under intense heat. Acrylic can be translucent so light can shine through it.
- Hygienic and Easy Maintenance
- Ultra-thermoformable for endless design possibilities
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications
- Some decors have translucent properties, great for backlighting
- 15 Year Warranty
- Stain Removal: Stains can be erased without a trace by using standard household cleaners. Just a little effort will soon return the surface of Corian® to mint condition.
- Repairable: If the worst happens and you crack the acrylic, more often than not, this damage can be repaired onsite.

Who We Are. Who we are and what we do.
The O'Brien Group has developed a unique model for organisation and management of their company and business. A core aspect of the company's growth strategy has been the company's decision to invest in new machinery to enhance production capability, quality, and productivity. However, with nationwide coverage in New Zealand, it is uneconomic to duplicate the machinery required in each of its branches.
The solution was to develop a specialised production 'hub' (factory) which manufactures all customer orders prior to transport to one of the O'Brien Group's branches for finishing. The main factory or 'hub' is located in Mosgiel (Dunedin) and the buildings cover approximately one hectare in floor area. Production planning and resource management is all undertaken at the main factory, which also houses personnel undertaking some corporate functions.
The branches have the responsibility of finishing, assembling and delivering the products to customers. This may include tasks such as assembly, addition of components such as bowls and drainers, timber, special features etc.
