Co-extrusion and method of making a co-extrusion

An assembly comprising a co-extrusion mounted to a carrier, wherein the co-extrusion comprises at least one clear layer and at least one coloured layer, the at least one clear layer comprising approximately 50 to 95% of the total thickness of the co-extrusion and the at least one coloured layer comprising approximately 5 to 50% of the total thickness of the co-extrusion and an outer clear layer of the at least one clear layer comprises an outer layer of the co-extrusion when mounted to the carrier and the co-extrusion has a light transmittance of between 0 and 30% and provides a look of painted glass.

A method of making a co-extrusion including aligning at least one clear material from at least one extruder and at least one coloured material from at least one co-extruder into a combined melt stream to thereby make the co-extrusion, wherein the at least one clear material comprises approximately 50 to 95% of the total thickness of the co-extrusion and the at least one coloured material comprises approximately 5 to 50% of the total thickness of the co-extrusion, the co-extrusion having a light transmittance of between 0 and 30% and providing a look of painted glass.
