5mm Cream Coloured Acrylic 128

Cut it, drill it, laser-engrave it, or thermoform it — this cream 5mm coloured acrylic sheet is designed to be worked. From precision-fabricated signage to large-format architectural panels, it adapts to the demands of the project.

Cast from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), the cream pigment is integral to the material rather than applied as a surface coating. This means the 5mm sheet maintains its colour through cutting, routing, and edge polishing. The UV-stabilised formulation resists yellowing and fading, with both surfaces delivered in a polished gloss finish.

Beyond visual impact, this cream 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 residential renovations, commercial fit-outs, and retail display environments. Supplied with protective film and available in custom dimensions.

Product reference: 5mm Cream Coloured Acrylic 128 (shade 128).

Optical & Aesthetic

• Colour consistency: The cream pigment runs through the full 5mm thickness — cut edges display the same colour as the surface.
• Surface finish: High-gloss polish on both faces for a professional appearance without post-processing.
• UV stability: Resistant to yellowing and colour fade from prolonged UV exposure.

Mechanical Properties

• Impact resistance: Up to 17 times more impact-resistant than glass. Fractures into dull-edged pieces rather than dangerous shards.
• Weight: Approximately half the weight of equivalent glass — easier to transport, handle, and install.
• Weather resistance: Performs well outdoors without warping, cracking, or degrading.

Workability

• Machinable: Can be cut, drilled, routed, and polished. Compatible with laser cutting and CNC routing.
• Thermoformable: Can be heated and bent for curved components using a strip heater or oven.
• Bondable: Joins cleanly with solvent-based acrylic adhesives (Tensol, Extru-Fix).

Specification

• Material: Cast acrylic (PMMA)
• Thickness: 5mm
• Fire rating: Self-extinguishing, classified to BS 476
• Water absorption: Less than 0.3% — suitable for wet environments and outdoor installations

Interior & Exterior Design

• Cream 5mm acrylic is well suited to room dividers, privacy screens, and decorative partitions. The cream tone integrates naturally into modern commercial and residential environments.
• Illuminated panels, lightboxes, and backlit displays use coloured acrylic for even light diffusion with vibrant colour saturation.

Signage & Displays

• For illuminated sign panels, lightbox fascias, and branded environments, the 5mm thickness provides sufficient rigidity for freestanding and wall-mounted installations.
• 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 patio covers, shed windows, and outdoor enclosures. 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 art installations, sculptural work, and mixed-media projects.
