Send us a design or sketch with the dimensions and quantities, by email or using our quote form. We will reply as soon as possible with a quote to your inbox.

To get an idea and give you a quote, any format showing the dimensions will do: a hand sketch, a photo or a PDF. For production we need a vector design (for example DXF, DWG, AI, EPS or vector PDF).

To accept the quote we ask for a 40 % deposit by bank transfer to any of the accounts shown on the quote. You can also pay in cash or by card at our premises.

We have the manufacturer’s technical data sheet covering cast and extruded acrylic. We summarise the main properties under custom cutting and in cast or extruded acrylic.

Because it combines the best of several materials: the optical qualities of glass, the mechanical qualities of wood and the electrical qualities of plastics. It is very strong and can be drilled, moulded, sanded, welded and cut as required; it takes colour without losing its translucency; and it is a thermal, acoustic and electrical insulator as well as waterproof. That is why it is the ideal material for so many manufacturing processes.

For surface dirt, use a damp cloth with water only and leave to air-dry; ideally, do not rub, so as not to scratch it. For stains, dilute a little neutral soap without alcohol and repeat. Avoid products containing alcohol or acetone, which damage the material.

Yes. Acrylic has a hardness similar to aluminium and metal objects will scratch it, but its appearance can be restored by polishing the surface.
