Jean, if you are talking about the panes, I am surprised you have
acrylic. There is polycarbonate - Lexan is a major brand - that is
virtually indestructible. You can smash it with a sledge hammer
with no visible effect - great stuff, but it scratches easier than
the acrylic.

As others have said - consider real glass. For breakage you can go
to tempered or laminated glass. When tempered glass breaks it
disintegrates into fingernail sized pieces with relatively
non-sharp edges: it can take quite a beating.

*It can take quite a beating, but NOT a shrp impact. An automatic
center punch will destroy even 1/4" tempered glass in an instant.

Tempered glass, yes, but not safety glass, which would crack but would
otherwise still be intact.

They are both considered "safety" glass.

Yes, but the stuff I'm typing about is laminated glass, not tempered glass.

And it was tempered glass that was being discussed above...not
laminated.
