Acrylic is a durable, hygienic, and versatile material, making it perfect for the sleek Acer model in our PROPPR toilet foot stool range. It’s solid, long-lasting, antimicrobial, easy to clean, and recyclable - everything you want in a bathroom essential. Fully waterproof and tough enough for busy households, it’s great for both kids and adults.
We love that acrylic allows us to offer a PROPPR stool at a different price point to our premium bentwood timber stools, making better bathroom posture more accessible. Plus, it lets us keep things local - we manufacture the Acer in both Australia and the US to ensure high quality, while supporting local businesses. Producing close to our warehouses (or, let’s be honest, our garages!) also helps us reduce transport emissions.
Longevity: Built to Last
One of acrylic’s biggest advantages is its durability. It resists impact and weathering, unlike glass or other brittle materials. Acrylic holds its clarity and structure for decades, reducing the need for replacements and minimising waste.
In furniture and home products, acrylic retains its look for years, making it a smart, sustainable investment. This is why we chose it for the Acer model of the PROPPR foot stool - ready to withstand daily bathroom use while staying stylish and functional.
Hygienic and Easy to Clean
Acrylic’s non-porous surface naturally resists bacteria and mould. It doesn’t trap germs like some materials, making it perfect for hygiene-sensitive environments. Cleaning is simple: a quick wipe with a damp cloth keeps it looking pristine - no harsh chemicals needed.
The smooth design of the PROPPR Acer, with no tricky grooves or cut-outs, further minimises dust collection. Being fully waterproof, it’s ideal for high-traffic bathrooms and wet spaces, especially with kids around. Parents can rest easy knowing the Acer is easy to keep clean, no matter what may be splashed or sprayed around the bathroom.
Sustainability: A Smarter Choice
While acrylic is synthetic, its sustainability comes from its longevity and recyclability. It outlasts many other materials, reducing the need for constant replacements. Plus, acrylic can be recycled and repurposed into new products, supporting a circular economy and keeping waste out of landfills.
Acrylic is also lightweight, cutting down on transport emissions. By choosing acrylic for the PROPPR Acer, we’ve prioritised both performance and environmental responsibility.
How It's Made
Acrylic is made from natural gas and petroleum, but modern production methods are far more efficient, reducing waste and energy use. Many manufacturers now use closed-loop systems to recycle by-products, while research into bio-based alternatives continues to improve its eco-friendliness.
When you consider its full lifecycle - from production to recycling - acrylic’s durability and potential for reuse offset its initial environmental impact. It’s a smart, sustainable choice for long-lasting products like the PROPPR Acer.
The Bottom Line
Acrylic’s unique mix of strength, hygiene, and sustainability makes it the perfect fit for the PROPPR Acer toilet foot stool. It’s built to last, easy to clean, and environmentally responsible - ideal for modern bathrooms and busy households. By choosing acrylic, we’re choosing a material that meets today’s needs while supporting a cleaner, greener future.
