Detailed description:

Optical clarity

Clear cast acrylic has an exceptionally high level of light transmission allowing 92% of all visible light through the material creating an unparalleled crystal clear finish. Not even glass can achieve this level of optical clarity. Because of this clear cast acrylic is an excellent alternative to glass for glazing purposes.

Hard wearing

Cast acrylic is one of the hardest thermoplastic sheet materials available and its attractive aesthetics remain for longer than other plastic sheet materials.

Light weight

While offering higher levels of clarity than glass, clear cast acrylic weighs half as much as an equivalent glass panel making fabrication, installation and transportation a far more attractive proposition.

High gloss finish and easy to clean

Its high gloss finish is not only very attractive but also more practically very easy to clean.

Weather resistant

With excellent resistance to the elements, cast acrylic performs well outside. No significant changes in appearance are expected over 10 years.

Manufacturing process

Cast acrylic is manufactured by pouring monomer between two sheets of high quality glass and polymerised in batches in a carefully controlled manufacturing process.

Recyclable

Cast acrylic can be recycled all the way back to its original raw material, the monomer.

What are polished edges?

When we cut an acrylic sheet to size, the saw blade produces a matte finish on the edges of the panel. We use a technique called diamond polsihing to polish the edges to a bright, smooth and glossy finish.

Our diamond edge-polishing machine polishes the edge of acrylic by running a rotating, diamond tipped wheel along the edge of the material.

How do I clean acrylic?

Blow or lightly brush away any dust and loose dirt from the surface of the acrylic
Using a mild solution of lukewarm water and washing up liquid clean the surface of more resistant dirt and grime.
Rinse with clean water.
Blot dry with a microfibre cloth to prevent water spotting.

Bought to elevate porcelaine figures in a display cabinet. Does the job perfectly. Service was quick and hassle free. Would recommend to others and use again as and when necessary.

Perspex is expensive. But these prices were the best I found. The block I bought weighed over 11kg and arrived within a couple of days, well packed and undamaged. The finish was excellent — it was needed for a glass shelf and is practically invisible. Recommended.

I used the block as a base for a stone amonite, I was unsure when I ordered the product and didn't get the edges polished ! I phoned the company and explained , returned the item and they rectified my mistake, all in 3 days , extremely helpful and efficient. Really can't recommend them enough.
