Glazing Plastic

Clear Acrylic Sheets in Cast or Extruded are ideal glazing plastics with
92% visible light transmission, better than glass. Safety first, standard
Perspex acrylic sheets are 5 times stronger than float glass and half the
weight. Alternatively Glass Look Perspex acrylic sheet is available to
offer designers all the benefits of cast acrylic whilst giving the
appearance of glass.

Common Uses for Glazing Plastic

Glazing plastics can be used as an alternative to glass. Offering a higher
light transmission and being 5 times stronger than glass, Perspex acrylic
sheets are the obvious choice for safety glazing, secondary glazing and as a
glass replacement. If more strength is required, polycarbonate sheets offer
250 times more resistance to impacts making it virtually unbreakable, while
still delivering the transparency of glass. The third glazing plastic is
PETG sheets, offering good chemical resistance and suited to outdoor uses
such as bus shelters, signage and machine guards.
