Heron in Graphite

A mysterious, deep grey base with subtle marbling, Heron in Graphite is a refined, versatile backdrop for bold design statements.

As part of our Made-to-order collection, Heron in Graphite is designed to bring personality to your project quickly. Made-to-order sits between our Core and Custom offerings, a curated palette of materials that balance creative flexibility with efficiency. Think of it as guided customisation, with each surface crafted from recycled plastics and underpinned by our signature circular ethos.

Full panels are available in 12mm and 20mm thicknesses as standard. Minimum order quantities apply.

Made-to-order samples are available in a 100mm x 60mm size and can be ordered exclusively through our Build Your Own Sample Set offering.

Made from: 100% recycled and 100% recyclable HIPS

Weighs: Up to 80kg – depending on panel size and thickness

Comes in: Supersized 3000 × 1200mm panels
Note: Panels may arrive slightly oversized by 1–5cm)

Available in: 12mm and 20mm thicknesses as standard. Other thicknesses available on request.
Note: Thicknesses are nominal. Please allow for thermal expansion – up to 2mm per metre over a 10°C range.

Panels are supplied with a single-sided semi-matt finish as standard, and can also be supplied double-sided should your intended application require it. Please specify this when ordering.

Part of the beauty of recycled materials is that each batch will be different to the last, so there will be some variance from what you see here and in samples.
As these materials are made to order, we can work together to find the right shade for your scheme – get in touch to discuss your needs.

Note: HIPS materials may yellow over time with UV exposure, so we don’t recommend them for external use or constant/direct sunlight. If discolouration occurs, restorative processes are available — please see our handling instructions or get in touch for details.

Our Made to Order service offers you guided customisation. It’s the beauty of bespoke, but faster. Pairing personalisation with practicality.

Please note:

– While we can closely tailor the colour mix, some natural variation and small inclusions of other colours may still occur due to the recycled nature of our materials.

– Each MTO panel is unique, and we recommend ordering a sample as part of our Build Your Own offering, to see the colour, pattern and texture of the material.

Our Made-To-Order panels are not available for direct purchase online. Pricing depends on material type, thickness, and quantity. We work across six pricing categories, so by getting in touch with us directly, we can make sure you receive tailored guidance on the most suitable material for your project, along with accurate pricing and lead times. All sales are subject to Smile Materials’ standard terms and conditions.

Smile Plastics Fabrication Guidelines

Curation is at the heart of Made-To-Order. And that’s both in terms of the sourcing of the raw materials to uncover unique colour combinations and textural appearance, and the hand-arranging of the repurposed raw material to deliver a panel that’s entirely unique to you.

Our factory setup is intentionally low-impact, using a fraction of the energy required by conventional plastics machinery. And we prioritise local suppliers wherever we can.

Our MTO range of large-format panels is offered in addition to our Core collection and Custom service.
