Details
From privacy to that extra darker shade, our lightly tinted acrylic is ideal for those wanting to add a little darkness as part of a contrasting design or to provide an extra layer of protection omitting light.
Our lightly tinted acrylic is ideal for adding that slight privacy. With slight transparency, our lightly tinted acrylic is well suited for all situations wherein light manipulation can add an additional element.
Granting that extra layer of optical privacy may not be something people immediately think to include, but adding it to caravan windows, luxury yachts, or even as a motorcycle windshield, can elevate your experience, and give you a sense of calm you may not have considered.
Providing outstanding clarity, our lightly tinted acrylic boasts excellent long-lasting UV and weather resistance, we are sure that our range of acrylics will add an extra something to your design.
Key Features
Tinted Clarity
Our lightly tinted acrylic sheets give excellent optical clarity but provide a darker shade, ideal for privacy or for omitting light. Up to 92% light transmission, higher than most types of glass, making it an advantageous option for use in windows or as a skylight.
Versatile
Ten times stronger than glass, our acrylic sheets are shattering resistant, as well as long-lasting making them ideal for use in both indoor and outdoor projects. You can expect at least 20 years of continued use from your sheeting without showing signs of deterioration.
Weather Resistant
With both UV and weather resistance, the sheets can withstand the most severe weather conditions, making them fantastic alternatives to glass windows.
Lightweight
Tinted cast acrylic weighs half as much as an equivalent glass pane, making installation, transportation, and handling an easier, and more attractive option.
Malleable
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.
Maintainable
Tinted Perspex® sheets are equally easy to clean, with just warm soapy water and a microfibre cloth needed to ensure a hygienic finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tolerance do you cut to?
We cut to a tolerance of +/-1mm.
What is your delivery timescale?
3-7 working days.
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.
Do you fit the acrylic?
No, we don't. We do provide some templates which should help you to take your measurements. The acrylic is easy to install by any competent DIYer.
