Acrylic sheet is a versatile material used in a wide range of applications. It is lightweight but strong so it can be used in applications where a strong sheet that will not increase the weight of the final item is needed. Matte finish frosted acrylic sheets have the same look as sandblasted glasses. This type of sheet is also referred as satin acrylic, satin glass acrylic and matte acrylic. It is a good choice for applications where slightly diffused lighting effect is desired. The frosted sheet is used in applications where coloured, clear or opaque acrylic sheet will not offer the desired effects and features. Acrylic frosted sheets are available in a variety of colour tints. The sheet without any colour tint looks slightly white due to the frosted effect.
A thick sheet of sandblasted glass is quite heavy and expensive. It can be fragile as well if it is not a tempered glass. Due to these shortcomings of a sandblasted glass, matte finish acrylic pieces are used in applications where a safe and lightweight material is needed. Glasses are available in only a few colour tints. On the other hand, acrylic pieces with the frosted effect can be found in dozens of colour tints. The matte finish texture on both sides of the sheet further improves the luminous perception of soft pastel colours. Now there are matte acrylic sheets with gradient and pattern colour effects.
The translucent frosted sheets allow sufficient light transmission while restricting views of the other side. This effect is desired in various applications where diffused light transmission is desired but not the view of the other side. This material is a good choice for applications like lighted advertising, shelving, light installations, interior design and bath screens. The sheets can withstand heavy impact without breaking which is not the case with most glasses. The sheets can be ordered in the desired thickness and size. Cut to size frosted acrylic sheets are available for signage, art projects and other requirements. It is possible to order such sheets with holes and rounded corners. The sheet is polished to give it smooth edges.
Acrylic sheets are more energy efficient compared to the standard glasses. These sheets can be used in window glazing, cabinets and kitchen backsplashes. It is a budget friendly solution for all types of users. DIY enthusiasts looking for an affordable solution can use these sheets in their projects. Local sellers offer custom designing and cutting services. It does not mean people living in other locations cannot order these sheets in custom sizes. Now it is possible to order such products from anywhere. The orders can be placed online. The acrylic sheet in the specified size, shape and design is machined and shipped to the buyer.
