- The fabric embedded in the two layers of polymethyl methacrylate constitutes the ornamental element of the material in sheet form and gives a particular aesthetic quality to the items manufactured using said material.
- Although this kind of material allows to achieve highly appreciated aesthetic effects, it does not fully exploit the transparency of the polymethyl methacrylate layers, since one of the two layers is inevitably covered by the fabric.
- The aim of the present invention is to provide a material in sheet form that allows to achieve particular aesthetic effects mainly based on the combination of the transparency of the materials employed and of the colors used.
- Within the scope of this aim, an object of the invention is to provide a material in sheet form that particularly enhances the transparency effect.
