Characteristics of tinted acrylic sheets

The practical tinted acrylic sheets include the colours brown and grey. They are available in a thickness of 35 and 8 millimetres and a maximum sheet size of 230 by 100 centimetres. For tinted acrylic this is the largest sheet size available in our online shop, but we can cut it to a smaller size. Tinted acrylic sheets offer solar and UV protection and their light and heat reflective properties make them an ideal choice for the replacement of windows. Other outdoor applications for tinted acrylic sheets are secondary glazingboat windows and windbreakers for animal shelters.

Tinted acrylic sheets are an outstanding material for DIY projects. The sheets are easy to work with using standard DIY tools. Even without a lot of experience you can easily cut, saw or drill an acrylic sheet. Bending an acrylic sheet requires heating it in an oven or with a heat gun. Acrylic plastic is a thermoplastic material, meaning the sheets will soften as they are heated. Compared to regular glass, acrylic only has one main downside: it’s more likely to get scratched. Scratches can be easily removed by polishing the surface. Tinted acrylic sheeting lends itself to a wide range of versatile applications, so please contact us if you would like more information.
