Opal-coloured acrylic is a conventional plastic sheet that can be used indoors and outdoors.
The opal colour makes the sheet ideal for breaking and dimming light from lamps and light bulbs. Creates a nice, diffused light.
Acrylic can be used for many purposes:
- As glass in doors/windows
- DIY shelves, boxes, etc.
- And many other things
You can easily cut or modify your own acrylic sheet. Use a circular saw, jigsaw, handsaw, or something similar with a fine-toothed blade designed for plastic.
Acrylic sheets can be glued with a strong, quick-drying contact adhesive.
Acrylic has approx. the same impact strength as regular glass, i.e. it can break. If you are looking for a shatter-proof plastic sheet, you should choose Polycarbonate.
The sheet is delivered with protective film on either side.
Acrylic can be shaped when exposed to heat.
Max. temperature for continuous use: 70 degrees
Max. temperature for short-term use: 90 degrees
All plastic sheets are cut with a circular saw.
