5mm Clear Silk Acrylic (one face frosted) 0282
From £0.19
Frosted acrylic is a versatile, durable, and lightweight thermoplastic sheet with a matte, non-glare finish on one or both sides. This creates a textured look like sandblasted or etched glass.
It offers high impact resistance, excellent UV stability, and provides privacy while allowing significant light transmission (often more than 90%). This makes it ideal for signage, lighting, and interior design.
Frosted acrylic is often used as a more durable, lighter alternative to glass, and is sometimes called “satin” or “matte” acrylic.
