A method of making an article of sanitaryware from a composite of a facing sheet (10) of an acrylic material and a backing sheet (14) of a thermoplastic material other than an acrylic material, includes the steps of heating each of the facing sheet (10) and the backing sheet (14) to a temperature within the vacuum forming range; bringing the facing sheet (10) and the backing sheet (14) together between a nip (18) between a first roller (20) and a second roller (22) to exclude any gasses trapped or formed between the two sheets (10, 14) and to bond the two sheets (10, 14) together to form the composite; and placing the composite in a vacuum forming mould and applying suitable conditions of pressure to mould the article from the composite. |
