Description
This premium 100% recycled opal cast acrylic sheet offers a robust and sustainable alternative to traditional glazing and display materials. Manufactured from fully recycled acrylic, it delivers the clarity and consistency you would expect from virgin material while significantly reducing environmental impact.
With excellent durability, weatherability and UV stability, these opal sheets are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use in demanding engineering, construction and signage applications. Available in practical sheet sizes and popular thicknesses, they are easy to machine, fabricate and install across a wide range of projects.
Product Features
- Manufactured from 100% recycled cast acrylic for a more sustainable material choice.
- Opal (white translucent) finish for controlled light diffusion and reduced glare.
- Available thickness options: 3 mm and 5 mm to suit different strength and weight requirements.
- Generous standard sheet size of 3050 mm length for large panels and fewer joints.
- Standard sheet width of 2030 mm for efficient cutting and optimised material yield.
- Excellent UV stability helps maintain colour and appearance in outdoor environments.
- High surface hardness and impact resistance for long-lasting, durable installations.
Key Features and Benefits
- Environmentally responsible choice thanks to 100% recycled acrylic, supporting sustainability targets without compromising performance.
- Opal diffusion provides an even distribution of light, ideal for illuminated signs, lightboxes and privacy panels.
- High durability and weather resistance reduce the need for frequent replacement, lowering long-term maintenance costs.
- Good machinability allows easy cutting, drilling, routing and thermoforming using standard plastic fabrication equipment.
- Lightweight compared with glass, making handling, transportation and installation safer and more efficient.
- Resistant to yellowing under UV exposure, helping installations retain a clean, bright appearance over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can these recycled opal acrylic sheets be used outdoors?
Yes, the sheets offer good UV stability and weather resistance, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications such as signage, cladding and lightboxes.
How can I cut and machine the acrylic sheets?
The sheets can be cut and machined using standard plastic fabrication tools, such as panel saws with fine-toothed blades, routers and laser cutters. Always support the sheet properly and follow appropriate safety and tooling guidelines to achieve clean edges.
Is there any difference in performance between the 3 mm and 5 mm thicknesses?
Both thicknesses use the same material and offer similar surface and optical properties, but the 5 mm sheet provides greater rigidity and impact resistance, making it more suitable for larger, unsupported spans or heavier-duty installations.
