- Is this sheet glass or plastic?
- It is acrylic plastic, often sold as acrylic glass. It looks clear like glass but weighs about half as much and resists impact instead of shattering.
- Can I cut it to size myself?
- Yes. A fine-tooth circular saw, jigsaw or scoring knife works. Cut slowly to avoid melting the edge, and leave the protective film on until the cut is done.
- How much does a 48 by 96 inch sheet weigh?
- At 0.18 inch thick, a full sheet weighs roughly 45 to 50 pounds. That is light enough for two people to carry and position.
- Will it hold up outdoors?
- Acrylic handles sunlight well but can yellow over years of direct UV exposure. For long outdoor use, a UV-resistant grade is a better choice.
- What is the green edge for?
- The green edge is a polished finish on the sheet's border. It gives cut panels a clean, glass-like appearance and hides the raw edge.
- Can I drill and screw it?
- Yes, but use sharp bits and pilot holes slightly larger than the screw. Acrylic cracks if fasteners are overtightened or holes are drilled too close to the edge.
