We have the knowledge, experience and technology to offer a bespoke design and fabrication service for plastic sheets to cater for almost any idea you can think of.
Please provide as much information on your size and design requirements and we will get back to you with a no obligation quote within 2 working days. You may also upload up to 5 files containing sketches or technical drawings to assist our designers with providing an accurate quote.
We offer clear Perspex® acrylic cut to size in a variety of thicknesses from 2mm - 15mm.
Key Features:
Unlike Cast Acrylic, Extruded Acrylic sheets are manufactured by extruding the resin over a production line which offers a uniform thickness and an excellent surface finish. A superb replacement for glass in a number of applications, Extruded Acrylic is as much as ten times more resistant to impact than glass and has excellent UV stability.
This makes it a popular choice of material for replacement greenhouse panels and secondary glazing, where it can offer 15-20 years of flawless service in all weathers. It performs well wherever a strong, lightweight and shatterproof material is required – particularly in environments where safety is a concern.
Clear acrylic is also known by the trade names of Perspex®, Lucite, Altuglas and Plexiglass.
In addition to its strength, the versatility of Extruded Acrylic is further broadened by its light weight, resistance to chemicals and a low moisture absorption rate which makes it suitable for food contact and for use in hygienic environments.
It is easily maintained and can be cleaned with a soft cloth and a little soap and warm water.
Please Note: our current machines work to a tolerance of +/- 1mm. Please enter your requirements to the nearest whole mm.
Many thanks for an excellent service, communication - packing and prompt delivery.
