5mm Neutral 914 Coloured Acrylic
From £0.21
Premium 5mm brown cast acrylic sheet — polished both sides, colour runs through the full sheet depth. Shatterproof, weather-resistant, and compatible with laser cutting, CNC routing, and thermoforming (shade 914).
Product description
This brown 5mm coloured acrylic sheet is manufactured from cast acrylic (PMMA) — a premium-grade thermoplastic valued for its optical clarity, colour consistency, and mechanical strength.
This brown cast acrylic is polished on both faces and pigmented through the full 5mm thickness for a consistent, professional finish on every exposed surface and edge. It will not yellow, fade, or degrade when exposed to UV light, rain, or temperature fluctuations — performing reliably in indoor and outdoor environments year-round.
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 5mm gauge suits furniture components, decorative screening, and complementary accents for timber-framed installations. Supplied with protective film and available in custom dimensions.
