If you value protecting, and at the same time displaying your valuable equipment, then a dust cover may be a great choice for you. You can also easily create a custom-made dust cover with acrylic sheets! Read on to find out all about it.
An acrylic dust cover, as the name suggests, is a protective cover made of acrylic. It is designed to protect valuable equipment such as musical instruments, electronics or art objects from dust, dirt and other potentially harmful elements.
A dust cover not only provides protection, but also enhances the aesthetics of the object it covers. Acrylic is transparent, allowing the object underneath to be visible, while at the same time offering a high degree of protection. You glue the individual sheets of acrylics together, around the acrylics dust cover. Preferably use a special acrylic glue such as Acrifix 192 acrylic glue. To clean your acrylic dust cover, we recommend cleaning it with an anti-static cleaner and an anti-static cloth, so that the cover attracts as little dust as possible.
Acrylic is an excellent material for a dust cover for several reasons. We have listed these reasons below.
