5mm Blue Coloured Acrylic 750

The vibrant blue hue adds character and visual interest to any installation. This 5mm coloured acrylic sheet is UV-stable, weather-resistant, and built to perform in both indoor and outdoor environments.

The blue pigment is distributed throughout the full 5mm sheet thickness, so cut and machined edges display the same colour as the surface face. Both sides carry a high-gloss polished finish, reducing the need for post-processing in most applications. UV-stable formulation prevents yellowing and colour fade, keeping the sheet looking sharp over extended service life in both interior and exterior settings.

Beyond visual impact, this blue 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 coastal-themed interiors, bathroom installations, and spa environments. Supplied with protective film and available in custom dimensions.
