Glazing Plastic Sheet Types:

The following selection of plastics can be used in Glazing applications:

Acrylic
Plastic
Polycarbonate

Acrylic Sheet for Glazing:

Our Clear and Opal Acrylic sheets can be used as a glazing plastic (Subject to thickness & load bearing conditions) for a number of applications such as:

Picture Frames
Green House Glazing (Subject to thickness & load bearing conditions)
Sheds
Outbuildings
Cold Frames
Horticultural Glazing (Subject to thickness & load bearing conditions)
Most Applications That Require a Material With a Glass Like Appearance

Clear Acrylic is similar to other clear plastics with good clear optical clarity and is generally regarded as having half the density of glass but has a good impact strength higher than that of standard type glass (subject to thickness & load bearing conditions). However it has a softer surface and is more easily scratched than glass.

Opal Acrylic has an Opal \ Opaque finish to the material giving a more diffused effect to the material.

Should you require another clear material that is harder than Acrylic or Standard Plastic, then Polycarbonate is classed as a stronger material with more impact resistance.

Most Applications That Require a Material With a Glass Like Appearance

Polycarbonate is a versatile, tough plastic used for a variety of applications, from replacement for windows (subject to thickness & load bearing conditions) to compact disks (CDs). The main advantage of polycarbonate over other types of plastic is unbeatable strength combined with light weight.

Polycarbonate is a clear, tough, near shatterproof polymer that is known for it’s impact resistance. A rigid plastic that is easy to handle and can be cut to size. It is less susceptible to breakage than glass (subject to thickness & load bearing conditions), acrylic products.
