Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut the acrylic rod to shorter lengths myself?
Yes, the 2000 mm rods can be cut to size using suitable tools such as a fine-toothed saw or dedicated plastic-cutting equipment. For best results, support the rod firmly while cutting and finish the ends by sanding and polishing if a smooth, clear edge is required.
Is the fluorescent blue acrylic rod suitable for outdoor use?
Acrylic has good resistance to weathering and UV exposure, making it suitable for many outdoor display and signage applications. However, performance can vary with conditions and installation, so it is advisable to assess the environment and provide appropriate fixings and protection where necessary.
Can the rod be drilled or machined without cracking?
Yes, the rod can be drilled and machined using sharp tools designed for plastics and appropriate feed rates. To minimise the risk of chipping or cracking, avoid excessive pressure, keep the material well supported and, where possible, carry out trial operations on an offcut first.
