Polycarbonate Sheet

Polycarbonate versus Acrylic

Polycarbonate sheeting is often confused with Perspex, which is a brand name for a type of acrylic. While acrylic has some common features with polycarbonate sheeting, the two materials are not the same. Polycarbonate is significantly stronger than acrylic, making it more suitable for applications that require high impact resistance. It also has a higher optical clarity than polycarbonate, making it suitable for installations such as Covid and security screens in shops, banks and public buildings. When it comes to strength, durability and weather resistance, polycarbonate sheeting will usually be the best choice.
