Not all acrylic sheets are the same.

One of the questions we’re asked most is: “What’s the difference between Cast Acrylic and Extruded Acrylic?”

While both offer excellent clarity and durability, each is better suited to different projects.

Cast Acrylic:
⭐️Superior optical clarity
⭐️Better scratch resistance
⭐️Ideal for fabrication, displays and premium applications.

Extruded Acrylic:
⭐️Cost-effective
⭐️Consistent thickness
⭐️Perfect for glazing, shed windows and general DIY projects.

We love seeing how our customers bring their ideas to life!

Nicholas recently used our 5mm acrylic sheets to create bespoke panels for his doors and windows for his gazebo, helping to make the space more usable whatever the weather.

His feedback says it all:
“I have used The Plastic People many times, I order online because it is easy to use your website to select the products I need, input sizes etcetera. The order is cut within a day or so and dispatched with next working day delivery. 5mm acrylic sheets I purchased from you to make doors and windows to close in our gazebo to suit the weather conditions.”
