Product description
This violet heather 5mm frosted acrylic sheet brings a subtle, diffused colour to any installation. The satin finish reduces glare and obscures direct visibility while still allowing ambient light through — making it ideal for partitions, splashbacks, and backlit signage.
The frosted violet heather colour runs through the full 5mm sheet thickness for consistent tone on all cut edges. Up to 17 times more impact-resistant than glass and approximately half the weight, it provides a safe, practical glazing and screening material for residential, commercial, and public-facing environments. UV-stable formulation ensures the pastel tone does not yellow or fade over time.
Well suited to backlit signage, privacy glazing, interior partitions, and decorative panelling, this frosted sheet produces an even light diffusion that eliminates hotspots from LEDs and fluorescent sources. Compatible with laser cutting, CNC routing, drilling, and thermoforming. Engraving creates a clean, high-contrast mark on the frosted surface. Supplied with protective film.
