Our Polished Edge Service provides a high gloss shine to the edges of your plastic. We polish edges either with a flame or diamond polishing. Simply tick the box to select this service.
If you have ordered standard holes we will drill 5mm holes centred 25mm from the edges in each corner or evenly spaced (depending on how many you order) unless you tell us otherwise. For panels 150mm wide or less the holes will be centred 15mm from the edge of the material unless you tell us otherwise. To avoid compromising the material, holes cannot be centred any closer to the edge than 15mm
If you would like to tell us exactly where you would like your holes drilling and the hole diameter you can do so as you checkout. Please provide your instructions to us in our 'Special Comments’ box which you will see before you pay for your order.
Alternatively, if you have a drawing you can upload it and attach it with your order.

Our gold and silver Metallic Acrylic is genuine Perspex. We only sell Metallic Acrylic from the Perspex brand as it has the enviable reputation as being the very best acrylic available. We think that is massively important when it comes down to colour quality and finish.
Metallic Acrylic Perspex is suitable as a hard wearing metal substitute and is popular for point of purchase, signage and display as well as domestic projects. This gold and silver metallic acrylic has a black core and is used for engraving (this is also why our images show black stripe across them).
We cut our metallic acrylic sheets to the exact size you need. Simply enter your measurements above.

Looking after acrylic We're often asked how to best clean acrylic sheets. Please use a soft cotton cloth to clean acrylic with warm soapy water. Alterantively, 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. Notes
We recommend you purchase a sample to check colour before placing orders.
