Black, White and Opal Cast Acrylic Sheets

Black and white acrylic sheets are suitable for a wide range of uses such as splashbacks, wall protection, signs, and point of sale displays.

Opal acrylic sheet is mainly used for light boxes as it allows a specific proportion of the available light to pass through the material.

Our standard 050 Opal acrylic sheet allows 37% of the available light through.

If you require light box acrylic of a different opacity please contact our friendly customer service team at service@theplasticpeople.co.uk with your requirements and they will be happy to help.

Looking after your Acrylic Sheets


We're often asked how to best clean acrylic sheets.  

Please use warm water with a small amount of mild detergent and a soft cotton cloth to clean acrylic.

Alternatively we're very impressed with results from acrylic cleaner VuPlex which polishes acrylic to a high shine in minutes, keeping acrylic looking like brand new. Add it to your order for our promotional price of £6.98.

We can also cut our acrylic sheets to the exact size you need. Access our cut to size service here

Our Most Frequently Asked Questions

Are Acrylic and Perspex the same ?
Perspex is a brand name for acrylic (in the same way that hoover is a brand name for a vaccum cleaner).  There are other brands of acrylic too – such as Plexiglass.
 
Can acrylic be used behind a hob ?

Acrylic can be used for kitchen splashbacks but the following distances should be kept between the outer edge of your hob and the acrylic: at least 60mm for ceramic hobs and at least 200mm for gas hobs. Acrylic is not suitable for use behind an Aga or similar range cooker.
See our splashback pages for further details.

Can acrylic be used in bathrooms ?
Acrylic can be used for bathroom splashbacks, shower splashbacks and bath panels, especially routed panels that are machined to specification. 

Acrylic can be delivered at a maximum size of 3m x 2m meaning it is possible to cover a large area without the need for any seams (this means no more grouting !). 

Because acrylic is so light, lfting acrylic and fixing it to walls is a fairly straightforward DIY task.  See our acrylic splashbacks for further details.
 
How can I clean acrylic ?
We suggest simply use warm soapy water and a soft cotton cloth.   Any chemical cleaner should be avoided as it is likely to damage the acrylic.  If you would like to use a cleaning product we suggest our specialist acrylic cleaner and polish Vuplex.
 
How can I see the true colour of this plastic ?
Colours tend to vary on screen depending on your screen resolution, operating system, web browser and preferences you may have set up.  For this reason, it is always best to order a sample to see the true colour of any plastic you are considering buying.
How should I clean acrylic ?
The team here at The Plastic People are often asked about how to care for acrylic.  Acrylic should not be cleaned with chemical cleaners as this will very likely lead to damage.  Cleaning acrylic should be with warm soapy water and a soft cotton cloth.  We are impressed with a cleaning product called Vuplex which polishes acrylic to a high shine in minutes, keeping acrylic looking like brand new.   It also protects new plastic from scratches and grime and restores plastic which has fine scratches and in ground grime. 
Is acrylic heat resistant ?

Acrylic is heat resistant up to 70 degrees.

 

Is acrylic suitable for outdoor use ?

Yes, acrylic can be used outside.

Our larger orders are delivered via specialist couriers and we will email you the day before their delivery.

Standard delivery is usually 5 - 7 working days. Orders with optional extras or cut-to-shape pieces can take longer.

Where possible, we will let you know if something is going to take longer than expected.


Standard delivery dates are estimated so please allow time to receive and check your order before you need to use the material or before contractors are due to begin work. If you need your delivery for a specific day, consider using either our Next Day or Named Day shipping services.

Safe Delivery
If we think that your order cannot be delivered safely using our standard service, we will contact you to let you know and discuss the delivery options with you. This normally is only the case for orders so large they need to be delivered on a pallet.

We recommend you allow time between receiving your delivery and starting any work in case any part of your order needs to be replaced.
