Acrylic bath shelves have a modern, sleek look that goes well with many contemporary bathroom designs. Their transparent nature allows them to be visually light, making the room appear larger.
Acrylic is a strong material that is resistant to breakage. It will not crack or split like wood or bamboo.
Acrylic is easy to clean and requires little maintenance. You can simply wipe it with a soft cloth and a mild detergent. It is also water resistant and will not warp, making it ideal for use in a bathroom environment.
Acrylic is safer than ordinary glass. If it does happen to break, acrylic will break into large, blunt pieces, unlike the sharp shards when ordinary glass breaks.

Although acrylic bath trays are convenient and fit many bathrooms, they also have some disadvantages. To get a full picture, we have listed these below….
Although acrylic is durable, it is more susceptible to scratches than other materials. If you are not careful, everyday objects like keys or jewellery can cause scratches.
Acrylic can be more expensive than other materials such as wood. However, the higher cost can be offset by its durability and low maintenance requirements.
While some people appreciate the modern look of acrylic, others prefer the natural warmth and texture of wood or bamboo. Of course, this is subjective and dependent on personal preferences.
