Description
This premium clear acrylic extruded fluted sheet is a lightweight yet robust glazing and cladding solution designed for a wide range of engineering, commercial, and display applications. The internal fluted structure offers excellent stiffness while keeping weight and material usage to a minimum, making it ideal where both strength and transparency are required.
Manufactured from UV-stable acrylic, this sheet combines high impact resistance with excellent optical clarity and long-term weatherability. Supplied in a 5 mm thickness and a generous 2440 mm x 1220 mm sheet size, it is easy to cut, fabricate, and maintain, whether used for protective panels, signage, lightboxes, partitioning, or point-of-sale displays.
Product Features
- Clear extruded fluted acrylic construction for excellent light transmission and visual clarity.
- Standard 5 mm thickness providing a strong yet lightweight panel for a variety of installations.
- Generous sheet size of 2440 mm length and 1220 mm width to maximise yield and minimise joints.
- Impact-resistant material offering improved durability compared with standard glass and many rigid plastics.
- UV-stable formulation to help resist yellowing and degradation in outdoor or high-light environments.
- Fluted core design for enhanced rigidity while reducing overall weight and material usage.
- Easy-to-clean surface suitable for hygienic, low-maintenance applications in commercial and public spaces.
Key Features and Benefits
- Enhanced safety compared with glass, thanks to improved impact resistance and reduced risk of shattering.
- Lower installation and handling effort due to the lightweight fluted structure, especially on larger panels.
- Long-lasting clarity and appearance in indoor and outdoor settings, reducing replacement frequency and lifecycle costs.
- Simple to cut, drill, and fabricate using standard tools, allowing rapid customisation on site or in the workshop.
- Low-maintenance smooth surface that is easy to wipe clean, supporting hygienic and presentable environments.
- Versatile performance suitable for glazing, signage, and protective screening, reducing the need to stock multiple materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this clear acrylic fluted sheet be used outdoors?
Yes, the sheet is manufactured from UV-stable acrylic, making it suitable for many outdoor or high-light applications where resistance to yellowing and weathering is important. As with any plastic glazing, correct installation and support are recommended to ensure long-term performance.
How can I cut and drill the 5 mm fluted acrylic sheet?
The sheet can be cut using fine-toothed saws or suitable plastic-cutting tools, and drilled using standard high-speed steel or specialised plastic drill bits. Support the sheet fully, work at moderate speeds, and avoid excessive pressure or heat build-up to achieve clean edges and minimise the risk of cracking.
What is the best way to clean and maintain the acrylic fluted sheet?
Clean the surface with a soft cloth or sponge and a mild, non-abrasive soap solution, then rinse with clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the acrylic surface over time.
