I'm thinking of removing the lower glazed part (approx. 550 x 1350mm) and
replacing with a single sheet of some clear plastic type material. The
upper glazing is a single sheet of glass of similar dimensions so what I
propose should not be out of character.

I'm thinking of using Makrolon / Lexan (don't know the difference but
suspect Makrolon is a trade name).
Would this be suitable, or can anyone suggest a better alternative?
Thickness would be 10-13mm. Must be clear, *reasonably* unbreakable, and
hopefully scratchproof.


Is the amount of light an issue? You are saying it must be clear, but why
not just use a suitable exterior grade ply panel? Half-glazed doors are
very common.
