PERSPEX® – From Then To Now: The Original Made In The UK Since 1934
PERSPEX® acrylic sheet is recognised as a premium product, one of the best quality acrylic materials in the world. Continuous innovation over the past years has resulted in the creation of a wide spectrum of products. These innovative materials are widely used in various areas of application such as architecture, visual communication, shopfitting, furniture construction, and lighting. The versatility of PERSPEX® acrylic sheets offers designers a valuable source of inspiration.
PERSPEX® acrylic is available in a variety of different colours, tints, textures and effects. Experts at the in-house laboratory can match almost any colour for unique design concepts. They can also combine colours or create new bespoke hues tailored to customer requirements.
PERSPEX® acrylic sheets are produced according to DIN EN ISO 7823-1 and do not contain any toxic materials or heavy metals, which may cause environmental damage or health risks. In addition, PERSPEX® acrylic sheets are only half the weight of glass.
The impressive characteristics of PERSPEX® Cast Acrylic sheets is one of the main reasons that it is such a superior product: high impact resistance, UV resistance, good thermal stability, low water absorption, perfect transparency for display applications and a 92% light transmission for clear sheets for amazing optical transparency, to name a few.
To give you an idea of just how impressive the PERSPEX® Cast Acrylic range is and its variety, you can now get accustomed to sourcing all of the following acrylics from from Stixo Signage Supplies:
PERSPEX® Clear: Transmitting 92% of all visible light, no other product offers better light transmission – not even glass. Add to this its excellent resistance to outdoor weathering, its high tensile strength and rigidity, light weight and good resistance to impact. PERSPEX® Clear is the product of choice for applications requiring critical visual performance and durability.
PERSPEX® Opal/White: From solid whites to translucent opals, and with a wide range of light transmission values, PERSPEX® acrylic offers a huge range of options. Whether you are looking to create a dense white fascia, a bright eye-catching sign, a lightbox or even a soft lighting feature, PERSPEX® Opals can refract and diffuse light to create stunning visual effects. PERSPEX® Opals and White carry a full range of benefits such as ease of fabrication, excellent surface hardness, durability and colour consistency from one sheet to the next.
PERSPEX® Solid and Translucent Colours: Colour is at the very heart of the PERSPEX® brand, and as a designer, PERSPEX® can help you fully express your creativity. From vivid yellows to sophisticated blacks, PERSPEX® Solid and Translucent Colours can give your project the best chance of standing out and being noticed. We can deliver guaranteed performance in the colour you want, and thanks to our flexible production process, in small or large quantities adapted to your project needs. With excellent resistance to outdoor weathering, unsurpassed batch-to-batch colour consistency and excellent environmental credentials, PERSPEX® Solid and Translucent colours will help you bring your ideas to life.
PERSPEX® Transparent Colours and Tints: From subtle greys to vibrant reds, PERSPEX® Transparent Colours and Tints harness natural light to bring them to life. PERSPEX® Transparent Colours and Tints are used in a whole spectrum of applications from automotive and marine glazing to signage and displays, where colour and transparency are key to the design and function. If you are looking to add the ‘wow-factor’ to your designs, then the vibrancy of the PERSPEX® Transparent Colours and Tints range will do just that.
PERSPEX® Frost are cast acrylic sheets with a double-sided matt finish available in four collections: Pastel, Vivid, Urban and Hot. PERSPEX® Frost Pastel – the original Frost range. Timeless subtle classics that have been a firm favourite since they were launched, whether you choose one of the zingy Vivid or Hot Frost, a Pastel classic or chic Urban shade.
PERSPEX® Satin offers you all the benefits of using PERSPEX® acrylic with the added feature of a smooth subtle matt finish on one side of the sheet. The smooth anti-reflective PERSPEX® Satin surface finish is primarily to help avoid glare, but works equally well to hide finger marks from handling. Available as standard in clear and opal/white, PERSPEX® Satin can also be produced in a vast array of colours to meet all of your POS, signage and design needs.
PERSPEX® Fluorescent: The fluorescent edge effect is one of the most popular choices of designers and fabricators who want their ideas to catch the eye. PERSPEX® Fluorescent combines a delicate transparent tinted sheet with a striking fluorescent edge perfect for interior signs, POS displays and in-store retail media. And because its physical properties are identical to standard PERSPEX® Cast Acrylic sheet, the PERSPEX® Fluorescent range is easy to shape and fabricate, making the most complex and intricate designs easily achievable.
