Fluorescent acrylic sheets
Everything you need to know about fluorescent acrylic
Fluorescent acrylic is 2 x as light and 30 x as strong as standard glass and comes in a range of eye-catching colours. Depending on what you want to use it for, you can choose a sheet thickness of 3 mm.
Applications
The fluorescent sheets pull focus and are mainly used for decorative purposes or as a high-visibility material. Aesthetic applications may include kitchen and bathroom interiors, whilst more functional roles might be public or safety signage.
The bigger fluorescent sheets are well suited for glazing purposes, the thickness makes these sheets extremely strong. Once in contact with UV light, the sheets will appear to ‘glow’ – which offers some very inspiring possibilities for architects and interior designers. Fluorescent acrylic sheeting is also a very effective material for making custom equipment housing of all kinds (e.g. ‘case modding’ for hi-tech devices).
If you truly want to create a result that cannot be overlooked, you can add some backlighting to a 3-millimetre sheet. Illuminating the already fluorescent sheet will guarantee to turn heads.

Maintenance
Cleaning and keeping acrylic looking its best requires a little more attention than cleaning traditional glass as it is more easily scratched.
Luckily, there are ways to prevent scratches on the surface. For example, always use a soft microfibre cloth rather than a sponge or brush. And avoid using any abrasive cleaners, they will leave the surface dull and full of scratches.
