Frequently Asked Questions
Can this fluorescent blue acrylic dome be drilled or machined?
Yes. The dome can be drilled and lightly machined using tools suitable for acrylic. Use sharp bits, low to moderate speeds and support the part securely to reduce the risk of cracking. Always test on a spare piece or edge first if possible.
Is the dome suitable for outdoor use?
Acrylic offers good weather resistance and the dome can be used outdoors in many situations. However, long-term exposure to strong sunlight and harsh conditions may affect appearance over time, so it is recommended to use it in sheltered or decorative applications rather than as a structural exterior component.
How do I choose the correct size dome for my project?
Measure the required outside diameter of the feature you wish to cover or highlight and match this to the nearest dome outside/inside diameter option. Then select a height and profile (Option 3) that provides the desired depth and fit within your mounting recess, housing or panel thickness.
