3mm Neutral 9T13 Coloured Acrylic
From £0.12
Premium 3mm 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 9T13).
Product description
This brown 3mm 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 3mm 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 3mm gauge suits warm interior schemes, rustic-themed commercial fit-outs, and natural-palette design projects. Supplied with protective film and available in custom dimensions.

Mechanical Properties
- Impact resistance: Up to 17 times more impact-resistant than glass. Fractures into dull-edged pieces rather than dangerous shards.

- Weather resistance: Performs well outdoors without warping, cracking, or degrading.
Workability

Usage
Architectural & Interior
- Warm-toned brown acrylic integrates well into feature walls, reception areas, and commercial interior fit-outs. 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 protective screens, sneeze guards, and safety barriers.
- 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 protective screens, sneeze guards, and safety barriers. 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 laser-cut jewellery, awards, trophies, and personalised gifts.
