Set design makes sets for trade fairs and events, among other things. For this, parts and complete stages have to be manufactured. The production takes place in a workshop, but certainly also on location. It is not uncommon for plastics to be used. Reasons for this are design freedom, weight savings and fire behaviour. Vink has an extensive range of plastics that can be used for this purpose.

About Acrylic for set and stage design
In the realisation of a creative high-quality decor, acrylic can be of great added value. Compared to glass it offers major advantages. The sheet material is much lighter than glass and is much less prone to breakage. The latter in particular can be an important application argument when there is a risk of breakage. Moreover, acrylic is easy to work with. It can be cold bent to a certain radius and easily cut to size. All advantages in combination with the endless creative 'special effect' possibilities make the material extremely suitable for this application.
