Evolution in polymer science has given rise to a transparent form of plastic, actually akin to glass, in Acrylic. With its favorable characteristics over glass such as; light in weight, moldable, printable, durable, unbreakable, has made it replacement for glass in many applications. These characteristics are highly sought after in decorative and signage applications making its usage herein as inevitable. Thus typical ceiling and wall designs, customized printed panels, letters and logos constitute array of requirements in acrylic that are serviced by us.

Acrylic is available in all base colours with transparent, translucent and opaque variants. Besides, plain or white coloured acrylic can be printed in any colour. Just in case, cost effective way of colouring is being sought, pasting of coloured vinyl can also be easily done on acrylic.

Ease of combining acrylic with other materials?

Given that we do a lot of glass film application for businesses and corporate. And, in majority of their film application on glass, either cutting or printing of their business identity and logo, is involved. This makes us indulge with them in creating coral design templates for their name and logo.

It has everything to do with the favourable properties of acrylic as material enumerated in faqs above. Such a mixture of desirable features gives businesses/ designers a lot to work with when it comes to creating the perfect sign, which is unique and is having professional impact.
Is there any size restriction?
Standard sheets of acrylic are of either 6’x4’ or 8’x4’ feet, however bigger size can also be specially processed. Such special order does take time but the advantage with special processing is the joints in extension are not visible as chemical welding done at molecular level actually melts seams into one piece of solid material.
Is there a quality differentiation in acrylic material?
There are two broad categories viz. cast and extruded. The former (i.e. cast) is superior and almost double in the cost. In decorative applications, it is normally this variant that is used as it’s homogenous and scratch resistant. Owing to these characteristic, the lighting applied either within or on the top of the cladding has smooth and glittering effect (i.e. devoid of any shadow or patches).
Is there any treatment for exceptional incident of scratches on acrylic?
With gentle scrubbing of graded emery paper followed by mild effort of polishing, these can be considerably reduced.
