10749 Acrylic Glass 3mm 1200mm x 815mm 1 sheet

Many prefer acrylic to traditional glass because of its clarity, shatter-resistance and light weight

Acrylic Glass allows 92% light transmission, more than that of float glass which tends to be 90% or lower. Acrylic Glass is also tint free and visually colourless. Other glazing options such as styrene or float glass have a faint tint of green or blue.

Score and snap to size. To score by hand we recommend using the Fletcher Heavy Duty Scoring Tool with the Fletcher Nipping Pliers, using the acrylic jaw head to cleanly snap. Alternatively, score heavily using a knife, scoring tool, or wall cutter. Place it with the scored line up, just over the edge of the workbench and apply pressure to cleanly snap.

Acrylic Glass has 66% inherent UV resistance due to the UV stabilizer that is added to protect against ageing. This absorbs many of the damaging UV wavelengths in natural and artificial light. This Acrylic is not museum grade.
