Details
Perfect for DIY enthusiasts, hobbyists, and professionals, our bold vibrant translucent acrylic provides a high gloss finish, illuminating a slightly tinted blue to space as a result of the light that passes through. Tinted Perspex masterfully illuminates and adds a blue element to light.
Translucent blue, with its inky undertones, similar to the Dark Blue Coloured Acrylic sheet, are a universally flattering option for rooms both large and small, making a wonderfully unexpected alternative to charcoal grey. Dark blue is also ideal for creating a dramatic, glamourous space to highlight an element or design.
Ten times stronger than glass, our Perspex® acrylic sheets are shattering resistant, as well as UV and weather-resistant, making them ideal for use in both indoor and outdoor projects.
Their high durability and low moisture absorption rate makes translucent acrylic a suitable option for fitting around the home, without fear of waterlogging, or from causing harm, unlike glass sheets.
As a result of this, you can expect at least 20 years of continued use from your sheeting without showing signs of deterioration to the product, or the blue.
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.
Translucent Perspex® sheets are equally easy to clean, with just warm soapy water and a microfibre cloth needed to ensure a hygienic finish. One of the main benefits of blue acrylic is that regardless of consistent and regular cleaning, there will be no impact on the boldness of the blue that illuminates through.
