Clear Acrylic (Perspex) Sheets Cut to Size
Clear acrylic — commonly known by the brand name Perspex — is a transparent plastic sheet used for glazing, displays, partitions, shelving and signage. It delivers glass-like clarity at roughly half the weight, with far greater impact resistance. That makes it safer if knocked, easier to handle, and simple to cut, drill and shape. We cut every sheet to your exact dimensions, so you only pay for the size you need. Order online with your measurements or request a free quote.
Why Choose Clear Acrylic Over Glass?
For most everyday applications, clear acrylic is the more practical choice. It's lighter and stronger, at about half the weight of glass with many times the impact resistance, so it won't shatter into dangerous shards if dropped or struck. It's optically clear, with high light transmission and a smooth, glossy finish that rivals glass. It's weather and UV resistant, holding up outdoors without yellowing or degrading under normal conditions. And it's easy to work with, cutting, drilling, routing and polishing cleanly, which makes it ideal for trade jobs and DIY projects alike.
Because it's so forgiving to fabricate, acrylic suits both one-off home projects and ongoing commercial work, without the cost or fragility of glass.
Common Uses for Clear Perspex Sheets
Clear acrylic handles a wide range of jobs around the home, office and worksite. Popular applications include display cases and retail or exhibition displays; shelving and shop fitting; windows, glazing and secondary glazing; sneeze guards, dividers and partitions; signage, plaques and engraving; picture framing and model making; jewellery stands, brochure and card holders; table numbers and event décor; fencing, balustrades and architectural panels; light fittings and roof lighting; and medical and laboratory components.
Whatever the project, a clear sheet cut precisely to size saves you the offcuts, waste and trimming you'd face buying a standard panel.
Choose Your Thickness
We stock clear acrylic in a range of thicknesses to match your project — from thin sheets ideal for framing, signage and craft work, through to heavier gauges built for shelving, glazing and load-bearing panels. Thicker sheets offer greater rigidity and span further without flexing, so the right choice depends on how the panel will be supported and what it needs to hold. If you're unsure which thickness suits your load or span, see our guide to choosing the right clear acrylic thickness before you order, or get in touch and we'll point you in the right direction.
How Ordering Works
Getting your sheet cut to size is straightforward. Choose your thickness, enter your width and height, then add to cart or request a free quote for larger or custom jobs. Each sheet is cut to order and checked before dispatch, so it arrives ready to install.
