Detailed description

Light diffusion

The textured finish produced by differing structures of prisms on the face of the sheet optimises light transmission and diffusion and controls glare when used with lighting applications.

Lightweight

Prismatic acrylic is a strong sheet material with high rigidity but remains lightweight, easy to handle and install.

Easy to work with

Used almost exclusively for the production of lenses and diffusers for light applications, acrylic prismatic sheet is easy to bend and shape into required design.

How delivery is priced

Delivery is priced by the size and weight of your panel, based on the band your order falls into:

Panel size (up to) Weight (up to) Delivery

750mm × 750mm 15kg $79

Delivery times

Customs, import taxes and duties

Our checkout meets US and Canadian customs and import requirements in full, so there are no surprises once your order ships. All orders are sent Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) — we collect and pay all import taxes and duties on your behalf, so your order arrives at your door with nothing more to pay.

Can I collect my order from Simply Plastics?

Yes, of course. Orders can be collected from our premises in Colchester, Essex. At the final stage of the checkout process there is a delivery option labelled "Collection/pickup" which is free. Once your order is complete, you will be notified by email along with our address and collection times.

I need my order urgently, can I pay for faster shipping?

Yes. We offer an express delivery service which aims to deliver all orders in 1-3 working days. Orders are delivered by a recognised courier company and may require a signature on delivery.

Do you have a minimum order charge or small order fee?

This is a question we are asked fairly regularly due to the previlance of either a minimum order charge or small order fee within the industry.

At Simply Plastics our approach has always been to treat all orders equally, small or large. We want all customers, new and existing, to be able to place orders with us confident that they are only paying for the products and materials that they require. We therefore do not have a minimum order charge or small order fee
