Perspex - trying to find a supplier
I need to get hold of some perspex that's already cut to size (approx.
24 x 19 inches but will need to double check that) trouble is that for the life of me I can't find anyone locally who sells the stuff. Can anyone recommend any mail order or online places that are likely to supply this ? Thanks |

Have you looked up Yellow Pages for a sign maker? Can anyone recommend any mail order or online places that are likely to supply this ?

One of your local glaziers should be able to supply you. Normally they
will stock polycarbonate and acrylic sheet rather than Perspex. Hope this helps Regards Capitol |

But hidden in there will be a minimium size you will have to buy for them to cut to your size. Its like a lenght of wood if you want a four foot piece of wood you have to buy a 2 meter lenght to get the four foot piece. -- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite |

wrote: They have it (clear acrylic sheet, not actually Perspex) in my local B&Q. Well that is perspex isn't it? Yes and no. The differences in capitalisation of the word rather give it away. Is your hoover a Hoover, an Elecrolux or a Dyson? Certain products like Rawlplug become generic terms in common usage. In the UK perspex is a generic word for PMMA plastic, whereas Perspex was a registered trade name. In the US, lucite is the generic term for plastics like Lucite (TM)(a PMMA), who now actually own the Perspex trade mark. If my memory serves, the Perspex trademark originated at ICI.

But I was really thinking of the coloured stuff I'd say the OP wants. I didn't see any mention of colour. True. But if all that was needed was a clear bit of plastic I'd have thought it easy to get anywhere. But then this is the problem when someone asks a question and then doesn't read the replies quickly - if at all - and give feedback. -- *Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
