Cut to size plastic and acrylic fabrication
Uses for Plastic Sheeting People have a huge range of uses for acrylic. Many household projects and home improvements can be finished off with colored or clear plastic sheets. Some people just want a sheet of plastic to replace a shed or greenhouse window, as it is cheaper and safer to use high impact, shatterproof acrylic than real glass. Other uses include kitchen splash-backs, and counter tops, table protectors, and picture framing. Additional projects that use larger sheets which have been coming into our workshop recently have been tanking for showers and wet-rooms. Incredibly fashionable, while also being unbelievably practical, sheet plastic can be cut to any size you need and is available in any color you want. Colors and Other Options As well as being able to supply clear acrylic (Acrylite® equivalent) cut to size, we also supply plastics in a fantastic range of colors, including silver and gold plastic mirror finishes, our sheets of plastic (Acrylic and Poly-carbonate) are made transparent or opaque, you just need to tell us your requirements concerning dimensions, color, thickness and whether you need opaque or transparent plastic when placing your custom acrylic sheets order.

Our acrylic mirror finished plastic sheets are a popular choice for gyms and home fitness studios as they are a cheap, lightweight alternative to glass mirrors. Outdoors, plastic sheets can be used as a safe and lightweight option when buying a garden mirror or replacing shed and greenhouse windows. While plastic sheet isn’t unbreakable, it does have a far higher impact resistance than glass and tends not to shatter into dangerous shards. If safety is a concern then sheet plastic is the obvious choice. Plastic sheet is also incredibly easy to clean, maintain and cheap to replace if it becomes damaged.

Custom Plastics Machining
Custom Plastics Machining: What to Look for in a Supplier 1. Technology base It will always be preferable to work with suppliers who have the latest CNC production technology allied to skilled workers. These suppliers will be able to produce parts to close tolerances while keeping part quality and finish consistently high. 2. Materials expertise and selection There are a wide variety of plastic materials available on the market today. The best suppliers know their materials and know the latest materials available on the marketplace. These suppliers will be able to provide superior guidance on material selection, ensuring that the right material is chosen for a given application. Choosing the wrong material, or a material which is not exactly right, can result in misapplication challenges later on. 3. Application expertise Material knowledge is one thing, application knowledge is another. The latter should always precede the latter. Choose a supplier who knows how to undertake a comprehensive application review to determine how a finished part will be used. A good application review will identify all the requirements that the finished part must satisfy, and is critical for ensuring that the right material is chosen. In addition, some suppliers will specialize in serving a narrow range of industry applications, while other suppliers will serve a broader range. It is important to choose a supplier who has experience in serving your particular application – choosing a supplier with limited experience in servicing your specific application may increase the risk of misapplication issues arising post-sale.
