- Choice of sheet widths: 1000 mm, 1520 mm and 2030 mm to optimise material usage and minimise waste.
- Opal 069 white tint providing controlled light transmission and excellent light diffusion for illuminated designs.
- Manufactured from high-quality acrylic offering high clarity, colour stability and dimensional accuracy.
- Good resistance to a wide range of temperatures, suitable for use near indoor lighting and heat sources within recommended limits.
- Can be cut, drilled, machined, thermoformed and polished using standard acrylic fabrication techniques.
Key Features and Benefits
- Excellent light diffusion helps to eliminate hotspots and glare, making it ideal for backlit signage and lighting panels.
- High impact resistance compared with glass reduces breakage risk and improves safety in busy interior environments.
- Lightweight construction makes handling, installation and overhead mounting easier and more economical.
- Good temperature resistance supports reliable performance in areas exposed to typical indoor heat from lamps and equipment.
- Durable, UV-stable colouring helps maintain a consistent opal appearance over time with minimal yellowing.
- Easy to cut to size and fabricate, allowing custom shapes, slots and fixings to be produced for bespoke design projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this opal acrylic sheet be used outdoors as well as indoors?
The sheet is primarily intended for interior design and indoor commercial use, where it offers excellent durability and colour stability. While acrylic has good weathering resistance, outdoor performance depends on installation, exposure and design, so for permanent external use you should confirm suitability with your project requirements and testing.
How can I cut the acrylic sheet to size without causing cracks or chips?
The sheet can be cut using fine-toothed circular saws, panel saws or routers designed for plastics, with appropriate support and clamping to minimise vibration. Use sharp tools, moderate feed rates and avoid excessive heat build-up; edges can then be finished by scraping, sanding and polishing if a smooth or clear finish is required.
Is this acrylic sheet suitable for use near heat sources such as lighting or equipment?
Yes, the material offers good temperature resistance for typical interior environments and is commonly used around lighting and display equipment. However, it should not be exposed to continuous temperatures above its recommended service range or placed in direct contact with very hot components; allow adequate ventilation and follow good design practice to manage heat.
