What is a speaker cover?

A speaker cover is a clever solution for keeping your speakers safe from damage, dust, and moisture. Transparent materials like acrylic and polycarbonate are ideal for this task, as they provide robust protection for your sound system without compromising on looks. Thanks to the clear nature of these materials, your speaker’s sleek design remains visible.

Suitable Materials

When crafting a speaker cover, acrylic and polycarbonate are your best companions. Let’s break down the differences for you:

At PlasticSheetsShop, you’ll find an extensive range of both materials. Whether you opt for the lightweight yet strong acrylic, or the extra impact-resistant and UV-resistant polycarbonate, we deliver them fully customised to your specifications, right down to the half-millimetre for a perfect fit for your speaker cover.

Choosing polycarbonate means opting for a material ready for anything. It’s chemically and moisture resistant, and stays cool between -40 to 120 ℃. It’s a strong choice for any environment. If being lightweight is key, consider acrylic. It not only withstands a good knock but also handles sunlight well. You can choose from various looks, including stylish matte finishes, which are ideal for indoor use.
