Products
The range of materials available is extensive and each product has specific applications. The following list outlines the properties of the various products and for the specific uses of each product please refer to commercial/industrial applications and cut to size pages.
Acrylic
Sheet, rod and tube.
Acrylic is a plastic that resembles glass, but has properties that make it superior to glass in many way and is available clear, translucent or in a range of tints and solid colours.
Another great advantage of Acrylic is that it is only half the weight of glass. This makes working with Acrylic much easier. It can be sawn, whereas glass must be scored. Acrylic can also be drilled, shaped and polished.
