5mm Amber Tinted Acrylic 300

The bold amber orange colour makes an immediate visual statement to any installation. This 5mm coloured acrylic sheet is UV-stable, weather-resistant, and built to perform in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Manufactured as a cast acrylic, this amber orange sheet offers superior optical qualities and machining characteristics compared to extruded alternatives. The colour runs through the full 5mm thickness — meaning laser-cut edges, drilled holes, and routed profiles all maintain the same consistent amber orange tone. UV-resistant properties protect against discolouration from prolonged sun exposure.

From construction sector signage, industrial identification, and warning panels, this amber orange 5mm sheet adapts to the demands of the application. It machines cleanly on laser cutters, CNC routers, and table saws, and thermoforms at controlled temperatures for curved and shaped components. Available in standard stock sizes or cut to your specification.

Optical & Aesthetic Qualities

• Consistent colour pigmentation: The amber orange colour is distributed uniformly throughout the full 5mm sheet thickness, ensuring cut edges display the same colour as the surface face.
• High-gloss surface finish: Polished on both faces for a smooth, professional appearance straight from the sheet — reducing the need for post-processing.
• UV stability: Resistant to yellowing and colour fade caused by prolonged UV exposure, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.

Strength & Durability

• Impact resistance: Up to 17 times more impact-resistant than standard glass of equivalent thickness. If broken, it fractures into larger, dull-edged pieces rather than dangerous shards.
• Lightweight: Approximately half the weight of glass, making it easier and safer to transport, handle, and install — particularly for large panel applications.
• Weather resistance: Performs well in outdoor environments with strong resistance to rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations without warping or degrading.

Workability

• Machinable: Can be cut, drilled, routed, and polished using standard workshop tools. Compatible with laser cutting and CNC routing for precision fabrication.
• Thermoformable: Can be heated and bent into curved shapes using a strip heater or oven, enabling bespoke formed components.
• Bondable: Bonds effectively using solvent-based acrylic adhesives such as Tensol or Extru-Fix for clean, strong joints.

Material Specification

• Material: Cast acrylic (polymethyl methacrylate / PMMA)
• Thickness: 5mm
• Finish: Gloss (both sides)
• Fire rating: Self-extinguishing, classified to BS 476
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to +80°C continuous use

Signage & Displays

• Retail signage, exhibition stands, and point-of-sale displays benefit from the bold visual impact of amber orange acrylic. The 5mm thickness provides enough rigidity for freestanding units while remaining easy to fabricate on site.
• Illuminated sign panels and lightbox fascias use coloured acrylic to produce even light diffusion with vibrant colour saturation.

Interior & Exterior Design

• Vibrant amber orange acrylic makes a striking choice for creative installations, children’s play areas, themed environments, and feature walls. The consistent colour runs through the full sheet thickness, so cut edges maintain the same amber orange finish.
• Splashback panels in kitchens and bathrooms offer a hygienic, waterproof surface that is straightforward to clean and maintain.

Glazing & Screening

• For decorative glazing and architectural features, amber orange 5mm acrylic adds colour and personality to partitions, balustrades, and canopy panels without compromising on weather resistance.
• Protective screens and sneeze guards in retail, hospitality, and healthcare environments benefit from the material’s impact resistance and optical clarity.

Craft, Hobby & Fabrication

• Laser cutting, CNC routing, and hand fabrication are all achievable with 5mm coloured acrylic. It is widely used for jewellery, awards, trophies, model making, and bespoke gifts.
• Suitable for thermoforming at controlled temperatures, enabling curved and shaped components for specialist applications.
