Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for interim Financial Statements (Policies)	6 Months Ended

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Luxfer Holdings PLC and all wholly-owned, majority owned or otherwise controlled subsidiaries on the same basis as our annual audited financial statements, except for the adoption for Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, "Leases". We condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual audited financial statements, which we prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Our quarterly financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. As used in this report, the terms "we," "us," "our," "Luxfer" and "the Company" mean Luxfer Holdings PLC and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates another meaning. In the opinion of management, our financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for presentation of financial statements for interim periods in accordance with U.S. GAAP and with the instructions to Form 10-Q in Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.
Fiscal year	Our fiscal year ends on December 31. We report our interim quarterly periods on a 13-week quarter basis, ending on a Sunday. The Second Quarter, 2019, ended June 30, 2019, and the Second Quarter, 2018, ended July 1, 2018.
Adoption of new accounting standards and Accounting standards issued but not yet effective	Adoption of new accounting standards On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC Topic 842, "Leases", and applied the modified retrospective approach to recognizing any right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Upon adoption, we have recognized all of our leases greater than one-year in duration and greater than $5,000 fair value, on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. This has resulted in us restating the prior period comparatives and have recognized a right-of-use asset of $21.2 million at January 1, 2018, with a corresponding lease liability, split $3.1 million, recognized in Other current liabilities, and $18.1 million recognized in Other non-current liabilities. Classification as either operating or finance is based on criteria largely similar to those applied in ASC 840 but without explicit bright lines. We have made certain assumptions in judgments when applying ASC 842, those judgments of most significance are as follows: • We elected the package of practical expedients available for transition which allow us to not reassess: ◦ Whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease; ◦ Lease classification for expired or existing leases; and ◦ Whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under ASC 842. • We did not elect to use hindsight for transition when considering judgments and estimates such as assessments of lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or purchase the underlying asset. • We did not elect to reassess whether land easements meet the definition of a lease if they were not accounted for as leases under the former rules. • For all asset classes, we elected to not recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for leases with a term of 12 months or less. • For all asset classes, we elected to not separate non-lease components from lease components to which they relate and have accounted for the combined lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. 1.    Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for interim Financial Statements (continued) We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as Right-of-use assets from operating leases, Current operating lease liabilities and Long-term operating lease liabilities. Some of our lease agreements contain renewal options; however, we do not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for renewal periods unless it is determined that we are reasonably certain of renewing the lease at inception or when a triggering event occurs. Some of our lease agreements contain rent escalation clauses (including index-based escalations), rent holidays, capital improvement funding or other lease concessions. We recognize our minimum rental expense on a straight-line basis based on the fixed components of a lease arrangement. We amortize this expense over the term of the lease beginning with the date of initial possession, which is the date we enter the leased space and begin to make improvements in preparation for its intended use. In determining our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, we apply a discount rate to the minimum lease payments within each lease agreement. ASC 842 requires us to use the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. When we cannot readily determine the discount rate implicit in the lease agreement, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate. To estimate our specific incremental borrowing rates over various tenors (ranging from one-year through 30-years), a comparable market yield curve consistent with our credit quality was calibrated to our publicly outstanding debt instruments. The standard had no impact on our results of operations or cash flows. In addition, new disclosures are provided to enable users to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Accounting standards issued but not yet effective None that will be material to the Company.
