Description
This premium extruded clear acrylic sheet offers a high-clarity, lightweight alternative to glass, providing excellent impact resistance and durability for a wide range of projects. Its smooth, glossy surface and consistent thickness make it ideal for precision fabrication, cutting, drilling and thermoforming in both commercial and domestic environments.
Engineered for high performance, this acrylic sheet is UV and weather resistant, making it suitable for long-term indoor and outdoor use. Available in a choice of thicknesses from 1.8 mm up to 4 mm (with additional thicker options also offered), and in popular sheet sizes including 3050 x 2050 mm, 2050 x 1525 mm and 2440 x 1220 mm, it is widely used for glazing, signage, displays, protective screens and architectural features.
Product Features
- High-clarity extruded clear acrylic sheet for excellent light transmission and visibility.
- Available thickness options from 1.8 mm, 2 mm, 2.8 mm, 3 mm and 4 mm, plus additional thicker gauges for more demanding applications.
- Standard sheet lengths include 3050 mm, 2050 mm and 2440 mm to suit a variety of fabrication requirements.
- Multiple sheet widths available: 2050 mm, 1525 mm, 1220 mm and 1520 mm for maximum layout and cutting efficiency.
- Manufactured from UV-resistant acrylic for excellent outdoor weatherability and long-term clarity.
- Lightweight yet impact resistant, providing a safer alternative to glass in many glazing and guarding applications.
- Supplied with protective film on both faces to help prevent scratching during handling, machining and installation.
Key Features and Benefits
- Outstanding optical clarity – high light transmission and minimal distortion make it ideal for glazing, displays and covers where visibility is critical.
- Enhanced safety versus glass – significantly lighter and more impact resistant, reducing the risk of breakage and sharp fragments.
- Weather and UV resistance – maintains appearance and performance in outdoor environments, resisting yellowing and surface degradation.
- Easy to machine and fabricate – suitable for cutting, drilling, routing, bonding and thermoforming with standard plastic-working tools.
- Cost-effective sheet sizes and thicknesses – wide range of formats helps minimise waste and optimise yield for production runs.
- Low maintenance surface – smooth, non-porous finish is easy to clean and maintain in high-visibility, high-traffic areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this clear acrylic sheet be used outdoors without yellowing?
Yes, the sheet is manufactured from UV-resistant acrylic designed for outdoor use. Under normal conditions it offers excellent resistance to yellowing and surface degradation, making it suitable for external signage, glazing and protective panels.
How can I cut and drill the acrylic sheet without cracking it?
The sheet can be cut using a fine-toothed saw, circular saw with a suitable plastic-cutting blade, or a CNC router. For drilling, use sharp, ground drill bits designed for plastics, keep the sheet well supported, and avoid excessive feed pressure to minimise the risk of chipping or cracking.
Is this extruded acrylic suitable for bending and thermoforming?
Yes, extruded acrylic is commonly used for bending and thermoforming. It can be line-bent using appropriate heating equipment, or thermoformed in an oven following standard acrylic forming guidelines. Ensure the correct heating profile and allow adequate cooling to maintain optical quality and dimensional stability.
