Clear Acrylic Sheets

Poly(methyl methacrylate) PMMA acrylic is more commonly know in the trade as Perspex, Plexiglas, Altuglas and more. Acrylic is a transparent thermoplastic often used as a lightweight shatter-resistant alternative to glass, ideal for all glazing needs.

Customers choose clear cast acrylic over glass because it is half the weight of glass, has much higher impact strength, and transmits up to 92% of visible light (acrylic is more transparent than glass). For use both internally and externally, acrylic sheets carry UV filters and guarantees against discolouration for up to 10 years. If hanging acrylic sheets, make sure the holes are oversized to the screw thread.
