Clear Acrylic Rods

Clear extruded acrylic rods in three profiles (round, square, and bubble) in diameters from 1/16″ up to 3″ and lengths from 12″ to 72″. The material delivers optical-grade transparency with a glass-like surface finish, machines and drills cleanly, and bonds directly to acrylic sheet with solvent cement. Lighter and more shatter-resistant than glass, and significantly easier to fabricate.

Round rod is the standard profile for structural and display work, used in signage, aquariums, architectural models, retail fixtures, furniture, and lighting elements. Square rod is used where right-angle geometry is required: display frames, furniture joinery, and precision fabrication. Bubble rod is a specialty item: a clear extruded round rod with internal air bubbles that scatter and refract light along the length, used in decorative installations, point-of-sale displays, event décor, and anywhere the optical effect of the material is part of the design.

All rods are cut to length in-house. Standard pre-cuts run 12″ to 72″; custom lengths available up to 72″ via our order form here . End polishing, perpendicular drilling, and cementing to acrylic sheet are all available. Walk-ins welcome at 345 Canal Street, SoHo.
