Description
This premium acrylic extruded clear reeded sheet combines visual impact with robust performance, offering a distinctive fluted surface that diffuses light while maintaining excellent clarity. Manufactured from high-quality acrylic, it delivers a modern architectural look ideal for both decorative and functional design elements.
Engineered for impact resistance and UV stability, this reeded sheet is well suited to demanding interior and exterior applications. From partitions and screens to retail fixtures and display features, it provides a durable, easy-to-fabricate solution for designers, shopfitters and fabricators seeking a versatile engineering plastic.
Product Features
- Premium extruded acrylic construction for consistent thickness and optical quality.
- Clear reeded (fluted) surface for light diffusion and added visual privacy.
- Available in 5 mm thickness for a robust yet workable panel.
- Standard sheet size of 2440 mm length by 1220 mm width for efficient panel layouts.
- Good impact resistance compared with standard glass of similar thickness.
- UV stable formulation helps maintain clarity and appearance in outdoor or high-light environments.
- Can be cut, drilled and fabricated using standard plastic-working tools.
Key Features and Benefits
- Enhanced aesthetics: The reeded profile creates a modern, textured look while softly obscuring objects behind the panel.
- Improved safety: Higher impact resistance than glass reduces the risk of breakage and sharp fragments in busy environments.
- Light control and privacy: Channels and diffuses light, providing privacy without significantly reducing overall light levels.
- Weather and UV resistance: Suitable for use in areas exposed to sunlight, helping to reduce yellowing and degradation over time.
- Easy fabrication: Sheets can be sized, edge-finished and installed using conventional fabrication techniques, saving time on site or in the workshop.
- Lightweight handling: Lower weight than glass of comparable size simplifies transport, lifting and installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the acrylic reeded sheet be cut to size with standard workshop tools?
Yes, the sheet can be cut to size using common plastic-working tools such as a fine-toothed circular saw, panel saw or jigsaw, provided the correct blade type and feed rates are used. Care should be taken to support the sheet and avoid excessive vibration to achieve a clean edge.
Is this reeded acrylic sheet suitable for outdoor use?
The material is UV stable and can be used outdoors, making it suitable for applications such as covered walkways, decorative screens and external features. As with all plastics, it should be properly supported and installed to allow for thermal expansion and to maximise service life.
How does the reeded surface affect visibility and light transmission?
The reeded profile diffuses light and partially obscures objects behind the sheet, providing a level of privacy while still allowing a high degree of light transmission. Objects appear blurred rather than fully visible, making it ideal for partitions and decorative features where both light and discretion are important.
