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?

Sorry, can't help.

Sign shops are usually the best bet for offcuts and sub-sheet sizes.

These people will cut to size while you wait, not too cheap but huge range of material (up to 25mm
thick!)

Why not? Second para. down states:

Cut pieces or full rod, sheet and plate - with no minumum or maximum
quantity - are, in most cases, delivered next day.

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

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.

Never been in B&Q, but I'd imagine it would be with the wood sheeting(no
not shi**ing) section. :-)

They have it (clear acrylic sheet, not actually Perspex) in my local
B&Q.

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.

Same thing. 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.

Well, I've bought it from one of the sheds (4' x 2' and 6' x 3' ish)

Can't remember which one, it's some time since I went in one

The B&Q superstore certainly sell it up my way (Glasgow).
