BGC building roof fit out on 28 The Esplanade, Perth.
BCJ Plastic Products received a request from BGC Building and Construction to manufacture 115 Shinkolite 6mm Acrylic Grey domes.
These domes were to be produced from 2.4 x 2.4m sheets, all uniform in height, presenting a challenging task. The purpose of this project was to replace existing domes that had been in use for 35 years.
The Shinkolite material, sourced from Japan and transported in a container, was chosen for its superior thermoforming capabilities compared to traditional glass cell cast sheets. This characteristic allows for more intricate detailing during the molding process within a shorter cycle time. With a light transmission of approximately 15% and a heat cut ratio nearing 58%, Shinkolite proved to be an ideal choice for this project, as evidenced by the installed skylight domes showcased in the accompanying photos.
Laboratory tests demonstrated a notable temperature decrease of around 10 degrees Celsius at 45 degrees Celsius when using this particular material. Additionally, Shinkolite exhibited excellent weather resistance, displaying minimal discoloration and strength reduction from prolonged exposure to sunlight, wind, and adverse weather conditions.

I used BCJ Plastics today for the first time and the service and price were great. I dealt with Tim originally and also another bloke in the office. The team were friendly and knowledgeable and I will definitely be using them again in the future for my business needs.

Tim and Pat custom-made acrylic guards for our internal balcony balustrades (to child-proof). They did a seamless job! Very carefully measured and made panels, neat installation and the overall aesthetic of the balconies were not at all compromised. Such a polite and professional service. We will definitely call on them again.

Decided to use BCJ plastics to make a custom sneeze screen as their price was very reasonable. Very quick turn around. An error was made with the dimensions but they happily remade the whole screen again the same day. Can’t ask for any better service. Very honorable company. Can’t recommend them highly enough.
