3mm Acrylic Glass Cut to Size
Acrylic Glass, also known as Plexiglass or Perspex is particularly suitable for picture frames. It is strong, lightweight, age-resistant and hard-wearing.
Unlike standard float glass used in picture frames which has a greenish tinge, acrylic is totally clear. It is much safer than glass and has a much higher impact strength than glass. When smashed standard glass will break into very dangerous shards whereas acrylic tends to break into larger pieces with generally much duller and safer edges. This makes it ideal for public spaces, or where safety is paramount, such as in a child's bedroom.
Whilst acrylic glazing naturally has a degree of flexibility compared to standard glass, the 3mm variant is highly rigid and is ideal for all sizes of picture frame. Don't be fooled by the low-grade 1mm perspex often supplied in cheap frames - this glazing is designed specifically for framing and public display.
- Highly transparent sheet with a light transmission of 92%
- Excellent surface finish
- Easily cleaned with microfibre cloth and standard dish soap
- Comes with protection film on both sides, ready for you peel off and fit into your frame.
- We will supply acrylic to the size of your order
- 3mm thickness, suitable for where rigidity is important, and for larger frames where glass would be prohibitively heavy, and 2mm acrylic too flexible
We take great care in cutting the acrylic glazing to the exact size you order, but please expect a tolerance of +/- 1mm in your bespoke cut pieces.
