This strong material is just as clear as glass, but much less breakable. Plexiglass-Acrylate is 25 times stronger than glass, cheaper and a lot lighter than glass. In short: the ideal replacement for customised glass. This variant is clear in colour, so you can easily see through it.
Do you still want to process the plexiglass? Then go for this moulded plexiglass variant. Because there is less tension on the plate, you can easily edit it.
Besides the above benefits, the acrylic Plexiglass sheets are weather resistant.

Plexiglass acrylate GS clear; what is it?
It is one of the most popular plastics. This is because it is an excellent substitute for glass. It is up to 25 times stronger than glass, making it a lot safer. It is also much cheaper than glass and much lighter. Plexiglass-Acrylate GS is UV-resistant and easy to keep clean. But be careful with scratches. Plexiglass-Acrylate GS has a long life span and is colourfast. Plexiglass-Acrylate GS is also known in the market as acrylic, Perspex or PMMA.
The designation GS stands for the way it is produced. Plexiglass can be cast (GS) or extruded (XT). The Plexiglass-Acrylate XT sheets have a higher stress in the material. Cast sheets have little or no tension. In practice, this makes an XT sheet more difficult to process. The production process of XT sheets is less labour-intensive and therefore the sheet is more affordable.
