Hi
I'm in urgent need of some large (A0+) size 2mm thick acrylic glazing. Can anyone here do this, or recommend a company who may be able to help? As stated. it's urgent (aren't they all?)
Need 11 sheets 981 x 1328 and 4 sheets 981 x 981
Thanks in advance
Tim

Tim,
Glazing acrylic sheet for those sizes is not an appropriate use of 2mm. It should be thicker.

have you tried
http://www.glassandmirror.co.uk/
They do stuff cut to size and seem to have just about everything. And they deliver in their own van.

Hi Tim,
probably not a lot of help as a long way away but i recently had a piece cut to size at 2200mm x 600mm x 3mm from Alluminium and Wood Frame Supplies in London E18 1BY although not cheap at £140.
Alternatively Glass & Mirror (North) in Oldham 0845 456 9972.
Regards,
Graham

I think I might go into business supplying this stuff. Thanks all for your help - have now sourced some 3mm acrylic cut to size at a decent price!
Cheers
Tim

Try giving solid glass in goole a ring you probably won't pay more than £10 a sheet for styrene. They also supply acrlylic in varying thicknesses your other option is arqadia's artguard but I don't know if the sheets would accomodate the size you want. It is easy enough to cut with a knife and straight edge or a wall mounted cutter.
