What is acrylic glass?
Acrylic glass is a thermoplastic based on PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate). The original material is crystal-clear and transparent, but it is also available in numerous colours, opacity levels and surface finishes.
Compared with conventional glass, acrylic glass is considerably lighter and less prone to breakage. At the same time, it has a smooth, high-quality surface and can be sawn, milled, drilled, bonded and polished using suitable methods.
Typical advantages of acrylic sheets
- High light transmission and brilliant appearance
- Considerably lighter and less prone to breakage than conventional glass
- Very good weather and UV resistance
- Individually cut to the required length and width
- Smooth, high-quality surface for technical and visual applications
- Very easy to process by sawing, drilling, milling and polishing
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications
- Available in various thicknesses, colours and versions

Select acrylic sheets cut to size for your application
Which acrylic sheets are best suited to your project depends on the desired appearance, the area of use and the processing requirements. Our range includes different variants that can be selected specifically for various applications.
Transparent acrylic glass
Clear acrylic sheets are particularly suitable for glazing, protective screens, covers, displays and other applications where high light transmission and a transparent appearance are required.
Opal and opaque acrylic glass
Opal or opaque variants are suitable for privacy screens, lighting applications, cladding and design structures where transparency needs to be reduced deliberately.
Coloured acrylic glass
Coloured acrylic sheets are frequently used in interior fit-outs, furniture construction, displays, signs and advertising technology.
Acrylic glass GS and XT
Cast acrylic glass GS and extruded acrylic glass XT are available depending on the application. Both variants are made of PMMA, but differ in their production process, material behaviour and processing properties, among other factors.
The available dimensions, thicknesses, colours and processing options may vary depending on the version. Select the appropriate material variant first and then configure the required cut.
Applications for acrylic sheets
Acrylic glass is used wherever a high-quality appearance, low weight and good weather resistance are required. Individually cut sheets can be used to create both functional and decorative solutions.
Glazing and canopies
Acrylic glass is suitable as a lightweight glass substitute for numerous glazing applications and structures. Its high light transmission and good weather resistance make the material particularly attractive for transparent applications.
Privacy screens and balcony cladding
Opal, coloured or opaque variants can be used for balconies, patios, gardens and other privacy-screen solutions.
Signs, displays and advertising technology
The smooth, high-quality surface is suitable for signs, displays, illuminated elements and numerous advertising applications.
Interior fit-outs and furniture construction
Indoors, acrylic glass is used for furniture fronts, covers, shelves, decorative elements and custom installations, among other applications.
Aquariums, display tanks and transparent containers
Clear acrylic sheets can be used for custom-designed aquariums, display tanks and transparent containers. The sheet thickness, water depth, construction, bonding and permanent load must all be taken into account.
Our blog Build your own acrylic glass aquarium explains what matters when selecting the material, designing the structure and ensuring watertightness.
Technical applications and protective glazing
Acrylic glass is also highly versatile for machine covers, protective screens, housings and technical components thanks to its low weight and good optical properties.
Processing and installing acrylic glass
Acrylic glass can be processed in many ways using suitable tools and machining methods. Clean cut edges, suitable tools and stress-free installation are crucial.
Practical note: For visible cut edges, laser cutting can produce a particularly high-quality edge finish. CNC machining may be useful for complex contours, cut-outs or structural processing.
Sawing, drilling and milling acrylic glass
PMMA can be sawn, drilled and milled with suitable tools. Heat generation and mechanical stress should be kept as low as possible.
Our blog Drilling acrylic glass correctly explains which drill bits are suitable and how to prevent cracks, chipping and melted edges.
Bonding acrylic glass
For durable joints, the adhesive, material and joint width must be matched to one another. Special PMMA adhesives or other suitable adhesive systems can be used depending on the application.
You can find more information about preparation, adhesive selection, fixing and curing in our blog Bonding acrylic glass correctly.
Fixing and screwing
Drill holes should provide sufficient clearance so that the sheet can expand without stress when the temperature changes. Screws must not be overtightened. Depending on the application, spacers or clamps may be a suitable alternative.
Care and polishing
Acrylic glass has a high-quality surface, but is more susceptible to scratches than glass. Soft cloths and material-compatible cleaning agents are suitable for cleaning.
Our blog Polishing acrylic glass and removing scratches explains how fine scratches, matt areas and dull surfaces can be restored.
Planning custom-cut acrylic glass correctly
For a durable, functional solution, the material version, sheet thickness, dimensions and fixing method should be matched to the intended application before ordering.
Important: The temperature-related expansion of acrylic glass must be taken into account in structures and installation situations. The sheet should therefore not be installed under stress. Our thermal expansion calculator for plastic sheets can be used to estimate how much plastic sheets may expand when the temperature changes.
Selecting the correct thickness
Crucial for stability and deflection.
The required material thickness depends on the format, span, support and load, among other factors. Larger or unsupported areas generally require thicker sheets than smaller applications with full-surface support. Our deflection and sheet-thickness calculator allows you to make an approximate preliminary check of the expected deflection.
Defining the variant and appearance
Important for transparency, lighting effects and design.
Transparent versions are suitable for clear glazing and protective screens. Opal, coloured or opaque variants, on the other hand, make it possible to create specific lighting and privacy effects.
Planning the cut correctly
The basis for a precise installation.
The length and width should be matched exactly to the installation situation. Holes, cut-outs, fixing points and the required expansion clearances should be taken into account during planning wherever possible.
Considering the area of use
Indoor and outdoor applications have different requirements.
Weather resistance, fixing and structural design play an important role outdoors. Indoors, the focus is often on appearance, surface quality and lighting effects.
When the material variant, thickness, cut and fixing method are coordinated, durable and visually attractive acrylic-glass solutions can be created.
