Explore a high-quality range of vibrant, solid and translucent coloured acrylic Perspex® sheets with The Plastic People. Our Perspex® branded coloured acrylic is suitable for a wide range of uses – from glazing and sculptures to furniture and kitchen/bathroom splashbacks. You can order coloured Perspex® sheets in two different sizes. Or, alternatively we can also cut coloured and translucent acrylic sheets to the exact size you need. See our cut to size page for further information.
Coloured acrylic is around half the weight of glass, but 10 x the strength – making it safer and easier to handle and work with. Since it’s also cheaper to buy, it represents a more economical option for a variety of different projects. Like glass, acrylic comes in many colours. The most popular are shown on our site – but we can order other colours if there’s a particular shade that you’ve got your eye on. Coloured Perspex® is a vivid, vibrant and decorative option – whatever colour you choose for whatever project. Translucent acrylic will transmit some natural light and add a pop of colour and character to whatever setting it is placed in.
Coloured Perspex® sheets are ideal for use in bathrooms. Whether it’s for shower splashbacks or bath panels – the lightweight yet durable nature of this type of plastic will make it straightforward to fix into place, wherever it’s needed. It can also be used for kitchen splashbacks – especially if your kitchen area has a certain colour scheme that works well. Coloured Perspex is easy to wipe down and also heat resistant up to 70 degrees. See our splashback page for further details on the benefits of acrylic with regards to its use in kitchens and bathrooms.
We have both solid and translucent coloured acrylic sheets. The latter can transmit a minimal amount of light, whereas light is unable to travel through solid coloured acrylic. If you're looking for a special colour, don’t be afraid to get in touch with our friendly team – as they may be able to source it for you.
First things first – we want to make sure that your order reaches you in perfect condition. We don’t risk your order getting damaged in transit. We ensure acrylic sheets are carefully covered and protected before they get dispatched. When your order arrives, all you need to do is peel the protective film off the plastic and you’re good to go. All orders are dispatched using our standard delivery service unless stated otherwise. In this case, it should arrive as soon as possible, and the cost will be displayed as you proceed through the checkout. If you need your order to arrive quickly, then you can also pay for next day delivery – however, this will only be the case if the order is processed before 1pm on the day before. Named day delivery on the other hand, is perfect if you have a specific day in mind where delivery will be most convenient. Either way, we’ll send you an email to let you know when your order is on its way to you – so why not get the ball rolling and place your coloured acrylic sheet order with us today?
