Frequently Asked Questions
Is this acrylic sheet suitable as a direct replacement for glass?
The acrylic sheet offers a similar clear, glass-like appearance with much lower weight and improved impact resistance, so it is often used as a glass alternative. However, it should not be used as a structural glazing material without appropriate design and approval, and it has different fire performance characteristics to glass.
Can the acrylic sheets be cut and drilled on site?
Yes, the sheets can be cut, drilled and machined using suitable tools for plastics, such as fine-toothed saws and sharp drill bits. Take care to support the sheet fully, use moderate feed rates and avoid excessive heat build-up to prevent chipping or stress cracking.
How should I clean and maintain the glass-look finish?
Clean the surface with a soft cloth or sponge and a mild, non-abrasive soap solution, then rinse with clean water and gently dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads and solvents such as acetone, which may scratch or damage the surface.
