Cast Acrylic
High quality cast acrylic sheet, having a high molecular weight giving it rigidity and more resistant to crazing then extruded acrylic. Exceptional light transmission higher than that of glass, cast acrylic is also available in a wide range of colours, textures and finishes.

Finishing & Fabrication Available
-
Up to 3m x 2m capacity, and a variety of different cutters achieving a wide range of cutting abilities in plastic and composite ali material.
-
Precision drilling can be done in any panel and any position with accurate and consistent holes. no restriction! specify what size you need.
-
We use small and large strip heaters to form our bends. Mainly used for pre-bent panels for the hygiene cladding industry and bending acrylic and PETG for guards and /or point of display.
-
A synthetic and diamond cutter take the top layer of the surface off to produce a glass clear and clarity edge. only available for clear acrylic.
-
A 1300°c degrees flame melts the surface and produces a glass smooth surface. Only available for clear acrylic.
-
We specialise in edge routing, and are able to create any type of shaped edge. Most common is radius routing and chamfering, this produces a safe edge, perfect for wall mirrors, screens and exposed edges.
-
With up to 3m x 2m capacity and up to 20mm thick acrylic, we can produce large and small laser cut panels, intricate shapes and specialise in repeat cut components or panels.
-
With 6000mm x 2100mm cutting capability. Quick and efficient with accuracy down to 0.1mm ensures consistent and accurate material cutting.
