Types of Clear Plastic Sheets

Acrylic (Plexiglass)

Acrylic offers excellent optical clarity, UV stability, and weather resistance. It’s ideal for both indoor and outdoor use where appearance and light transmission matter.
Best for: Patio enclosures, windows, display cases, picture framing, aquariums, and skylights.

Advantages of Acrylic:

• 92% light transmission — clearer than glass

• UV- and weather-resistant for long-term clarity

• Half the weight of glass but much stronger

• Easily machined, cut, or thermoformed

• Available in cast, extruded, thick cast, frosted, and green-edge varieties

Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate is the toughest clear plastic sheet available — up to 200× stronger than glass. It’s preferred for impact-prone environments or where extra safety is needed.

Best for: Safety glazing, skylights, protective barriers, machine guards, and outdoor signage.

Advantages of Polycarbonate:

• Virtually unbreakable and impact-resistant

• UV-protected on both sides to prevent yellowing

• Easy to fabricate and install

• Maintains high clarity and light transmission

• Excellent choice for heavy-duty or industrial applications

Abrasion-Resistant & Specialty Clear Sheets

When frequent handling or cleaning is required, choose abrasion-resistant acrylic or polycarbonate. These coated sheets resist scratching and chemical damage up to 40× better than standard plastic.
Great for: Museum vitrines, menu boards, retail fixtures, and architectural glazing.

Other specialty options include frosted acrylic for diffused light effects and recycled-content acrylic for an eco-conscious alternative.
