Acrylic plate

What makes acrylic plates stand out 

Acrylic plates have a wide range of benefits that make them a popular choice for many different projects, both indoors and outdoors.    

• Versatile: The panels are versatile and can easily be used both indoors and outdoors. This opens up a wealth of different possibilities, and the sky's the limit.    

• Easy to work with: Another great advantage of acrylic plates is that they are easy to work with. Acrylic plates can be hot bent, sawn, cut, drilled and shaped, making them a dream for DIY enthusiasts.    

• Durable: When it comes to durability, acrylic plates beat regular glass by several factors. They are more resistant to shock and impact, which means they don't break as easily as glass. An acrylic plate is also a weatherproof material.  

• Easy to clean: Acrylic plates are also easy to clean. You can simply wipe them with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. This makes them a practical choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where hygiene is important.   

• UV protected: Did you know that acrylic plates are UV resistant? This means they are especially ideal for outdoor projects where protection from sunlight is important.  

The possibilities are endless with acrylic plates  

An acrylic plate is a versatile material that you can use for many different purposes. They are easy to work with and can be customised for a wide range of projects, so the possibilities are endless, both indoors and outdoors.   

Outdoor use  

Acrylic plates are ideal for use as windows in playhouses. They are much more durable than glass and, in the event of an accident, they do not shatter in the same way as ordinary glass.  
 
Acrylic plates can also be used as windbreaks on the patio or balcony. Here, they can help keep the wind out. You can also consider using an acrylic plate as a roof on your covered terrace or garage.  
 
If you have a green thumb, you can also consider using acrylic plates to build your own greenhouse. Here, the plates will ensure that your plants get plenty of light while being protected from the elements. The acrylic plates are also resistant to UV rays, so your plants are well protected.  

Indoor use 

When it comes to using acrylic plates indoors, the only limit is your imagination. For example, you can use an acrylic plate as a partition. If you're creative, you can also use an acrylic plate to make your own shelves. Or how about using acrylic plates instead of glass when framing pictures? It's easy to work with the material, and you can get exactly the look you want.

How to work with your acrylic plates  

Working with an acrylic plate is easier than you might think. It requires little more than ordinary tools, a little patience and a little care.   
 
If you want to trim your acrylic plate, you can do it with a regular jigsaw. It's important to use a fine-toothed saw blade as it will give a cleaner cut. Start by marking where you want to cut and make sure you keep the plate stable throughout the process.   
 
You can use your regular drill to drill holes in your acrylic plate. However, it's important to use a sharp drill bit designed for plastic. Start by marking where you want to drill and use a low speed on your drill. It's a good idea to place a piece of wood under the acrylic plate when drilling to prevent it from splitting.  
 
Always remember to use safety goggles for eye protection when working with an acrylic plate. Also, remember that acrylic plates are strong, but they can break if you treat them too roughly. So take your time and handle your acrylic plates with care.   

Find acrylic plates and other plates at Biltema  

At Biltema, you won't only find acrylic plates. We also have a wide range of other plates such as polystyrene and polycarbonate. We know that every project requires its own unique material, which is why we've made sure to have a large selection so you can find exactly what you need. 
 
Our acrylic plates are popular because of their durability and versatility, but we also know that polycarbonate and plastic glass have their own unique advantages. Plastic glass is easy to work with and ideal for projects where you need a light but strong material. Polycarbonate is incredibly robust and great for projects that require extra durability.
