I'm looking for a co. local to me (Portsmouth, UK) who can supply about
1.5sq metres of Perspex in a smoke tint at a price that won't break the
bank.

Anyone know of anywhere?

Also, is plexiglass simply another name for perspex, what other materials of
this type are available?

Many thanks

Try yellow pages under plastics suppliers. That is how I found one north of
the M27 a few years ago. However, while I know how to drive there, I now
have no idea of what it is called or what the address is.

Plexiglass is a trade name for polycarbonate, while Perspex is a trade name
for acrylic. Polycabonate is much stronger than acrylic, but also more
expensive.

Try your local friendly glaziers. Many stock acrylic/polycarbonate
sheets for windows which are a bit vandal prone!!

Plexiglass is also acrylic. Lucite is another trade name for it.

Polycarbonate's usual trade name is Lexan.


I'd suggest acrylic over polycarbonate. Easier to work with all round.
