3mm Neutral Tinted 923 Acrylic

A popular choice for heritage and museum display cases, traditional signage, and pub and bar interior features, this brown 3mm coloured acrylic sheet combines visual impact with lasting durability.

With the brown colour cast through the full 3mm depth of the sheet, every cut edge and fabricated detail maintains a clean, consistent finish. The high-gloss surface on both faces gives a professional appearance straight from the sheet. Resistant to UV degradation, weathering, and moisture, this material holds its colour and clarity in demanding indoor and outdoor environments.

Beyond visual impact, this brown acrylic is practical to work with — it cuts cleanly with standard workshop tools, lasers, and CNC machines, and can be heated and bent into curved shapes for bespoke installations. The 3mm gauge suits hospitality and restaurant interiors, wooden-effect feature panels, and earth-toned retail displays. Supplied with protective film and available in custom dimensions.

Optical & Aesthetic

• Colour consistency: The brown pigment runs through the full 3mm thickness — cut edges display the same colour as the surface.
• Surface finish: High-gloss polish on both faces for a professional appearance without post-processing.
• UV stability: Resistant to yellowing and colour fade from prolonged UV exposure.

Mechanical Properties

• Impact resistance: Up to 17 times more impact-resistant than glass. Fractures into dull-edged pieces rather than dangerous shards.
• Weight: Approximately half the weight of equivalent glass — easier to transport, handle, and install.
• Weather resistance: Performs well outdoors without warping, cracking, or degrading.

Workability

• Machinable: Can be cut, drilled, routed, and polished. Compatible with laser cutting and CNC routing.
• Thermoformable: Can be heated and bent for curved components using a strip heater or oven.
• Bondable: Joins cleanly with solvent-based acrylic adhesives (Tensol, Extru-Fix).

Specification

• Material: Cast acrylic (PMMA)
• Thickness: 3mm
• Fire rating: Self-extinguishing, classified to BS 476

Architectural & Interior

• Warm-toned brown acrylic integrates well into kitchen splashbacks, bathroom panels, and decorative wall features. The natural palette complements timber, stone, and earth-toned material schemes.
• Illuminated panels, lightboxes, and backlit displays use coloured acrylic for even light diffusion with vibrant colour saturation.

Glazing & Screening

• As a glazing material, the 3mm sheet provides a tinted, shatterproof alternative to glass for secondary glazing, greenhouse panels, and skylight installations.
• Splashback panels in kitchens and bathrooms provide a hygienic, waterproof surface that is straightforward to maintain.

Glazing & Screening

• A shatterproof, weather-resistant alternative to glass for secondary glazing, greenhouse panels, and skylight installations. Up to 17 times more impact-resistant at approximately half the weight.

Craft & Fabrication

• Compatible with laser cutting, CNC routing, drilling, and thermoforming. Widely used for model making, prototyping, and precision-fabricated components.
