FABRICATION & INSTALLATION TIPS

Cutting: Use a fine-tooth saw, circular saw, or laser cutter. Score and snap method works for thinner sheets (2mm-3mm).

Drilling: Use standard drill bits at slow speeds. Support the sheet on both sides to prevent cracking. Read our drilling guide

Bending: Heat with a strip heater or heat gun to form curves and angles. Acrylic becomes pliable at approximately 160°C.

Bonding: Use ACRI-BOND 105 solvent cement for strong, clear joints. This fast-curing, water-thin adhesive is ideal for joining cast and extruded acrylic.

🛒 Buy ACRI-BOND 105 adhesive

Polishing: Flame-polish edges for crystal-clear finish, or use buffing compounds for a professional look.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

• Clean with warm soapy water and a soft microfibre cloth
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels that can scratch
• Use acrylic-safe cleaners for stubborn marks
• Dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots
• Minor scratches can be buffed out with acrylic polish
• Store flat to prevent warping

Strength
Polycarbonate is more robust, providing 200 times the strength of glass, while cast acrylic sheet is about 10 times stronger than glass. Polycarbonate is more suitable for applications requiring high impact resistance.

Weight
Both materials are lightweight, though acrylic sheeting is slightly lighter than polycarbonate sheeting.

Scratch resistance
Acrylic sheet is more prone to scratching than polycarbonate sheet. It's essential to consider the resistance to surface damage when choosing between the two materials.

UV stability
Polycarbonate sheet generally offers enhanced protection against harmful UV rays, if no specai.

Ease of fabrication:
Acrylic sheets can be easily shaped and drilled, while polycarbonate sheets require specific techniques and tools for fabrication.

Cost:
Acrylic sheet is generally more cost-effective than polycarbonate sheet, making it a preferred choice for projects with budget constraints.
