Cast clear acrylic is the most specified plastic material in fabrication and one of the most practical alternatives to glass in framing. It delivers optical-grade transparency with a glass-like finish on both sides, consistent thickness throughout, and none of the weight, brittleness, or breakage risk of actual glass. At roughly half the weight of glass and significantly more impact-resistant, it ships safer, installs easier, and eliminates the liability concerns that come with glazing glass in high-traffic or public spaces. Available from 1/16" up to 1" online, with heavier gauges available in-store and by custom order.
Used across display cases, retail fixtures, signage substrates, protective panels, lighting diffusers, architectural glazing, art installations, and picture framing. A direct glass replacement for standard frames where UV protection is not required — for conservation framing and UV filtering, see our P99 Non-Glare and OP3 UV Filtering options. Pairs well with CPC's laser cutting, edge polishing, and UV printing services for finished pieces. Need extruded over cast? We stock extruded in 1/8" in-store — ask us.
Full sheets are 48" × 96", glossy both sides, pre-cut to a tolerance of +/−1/8". Cast construction ensures cleaner edges, better optical consistency, and superior compatibility with laser cutting, routing, drilling, and bonding versus extruded.
