Whether you are looking for a strong material that is lightweight for extra light in your shed, or a replacement that is more resistant to the elements, Perspex® can deliver against these needs. Using Perspex® as an alternative to traditional glass for shed windows offers numerous benefits and is a smart choice for those looking for durability and functionality.
Using Perspex® for shed windows offers several advantages that make this an attractive choice for both functional and aesthetic purposes. The combination of durability, weather resistance and versatility make Perspex® an excellent choice for shed windows.
Perspex® is significantly lighter than glass, which makes installation very easy, especially with larger windows.
Perspex® is very strong and durable, allowing it to withstand the daily wear and tear of a shed. It is difficult to break, reducing the risk of damage.
Perspex® can withstand a variety of weather conditions, such as rain, hail and snow, without cracking or weakening. It also retains its clarity over time.
Perspex® is generally UV-resistant, meaning it does not discolour or become brittle easily when exposed to sunlight. This keeps it looking fresh for a long time.
Perspex® has some insulating properties, allowing it to help regulate the temperature inside the shed better than glass. This can also help reduce energy costs.
Unlike ordinary glass, Perspex® does not disintegrate into sharp, dangerous pieces if broken. This makes it safer for use in a shed, especially if there are children around.
