Details
Black Perspex® acrylic sheets have a wide range of uses for home, commercial and DIY projects. With varying shades and tones available, our black Perspex® acrylic is a vibrant, versatile and easy to machine, hard-wearing material for a variety of applications.
Not just for moody teenage hideouts, our glossy black acrylic creates intimate, inviting, and on-trend spaces to escape. With an unsurpassable depth and an almost velvet shine, this glossy black requires some courage to use on walls where a softer, off black or grey, maybe more forgiving. However, as a striking accent to add structure and personality to any space, it’s hard to beat.
Ten times stronger than glass, our glossy black Perspex® acrylic sheets are shatter resistant, as well as long-lasting. As a result, this makes our acrylic sheets ideal for use in both indoor and outdoor projects. In addition to this, their UV and weather resistance makes them great alternatives to glass windows.
Black Perspex® acrylic is easy to fabricate and can be cut, drilled and shaped to any requirements, so it’s a flexible material to work with. The cut surfaces can be polished and sanded easily for a more professional finish to your sheeting. Black Perspex® sheets are equally easy to clean, with just warm soapy water and a microfibre cloth needed to ensure a hygienic finish.
Most importantly, our glossy black Perspex® acrylic boasts fantastic aesthetic properties. With a diverse variety of shades available, our black acrylic sheets make for great creative projects in the home, and commercial spaces.
Typically Perspex® acrylic sheets are commonly used as an alternative to glass, offering great optical clarity and durability, however, where black acrylic excels is in making a unique and creative option. For example, our glossy black acrylic sheets can be used to protect work surfaces from wear and tear, as wall protectors, as contemporary and attention-grabbing signage, and even for shelving that adds a decorative touch.
Further, as acrylic is so easy to maintain, it is great for spaces where dirt and grime build up quickly such as bathrooms, outdoor applications and even in nurseries and kids’ playrooms where you need easy to clean surfaces that can simply be wiped down. For retail displays and advertising boards, black acrylic is an ideal choice of material as it provides more versatility in terms of design and aesthetics, with all the same great qualities that standard acrylic sheets provide.

Is mirrored acrylic like normal mirror?
Mirrored acrylic is a flexible material, and needs to be attached to a perfectly flat surface. We recommend attaching it to MDF or something similar, making sure the adhesive is spread in a thin even layer across the acrylic. we also recommend using the 5mm thick acrylic as it is more rigid.
Can you cut any shape?
Yes, in acrylic. We will shortly be able to also cut any shape in polycarbonate as well.
What's your standard radius corner?
20mm, but we can cut to your requirements.
How many holes do I need in my acrylic?
1 per corner should be sufficient for smaller pieces. You might want to consider an extra hole in the middle if your sheet is larger.
Can I cut acrylic?
Yes, you can. Just take it slow and easy.
Can I put acrylic behind a hob?
Not if it is gas or electric. You need a gap of 5cm between an induction hob and the acrylic.
