About Our Plexiglass and Polycarbonate Glass

Our custom-cut acrylic plexiglass and polycarbonate glass sheets are made of synthetic polymer or methyl methacrylate, which is a thermoplastic. These acrylic plastic sheets are well-known by trade names such as Acrylite®, Lucite®, or Perspex®. Our polycarbonate sheets are non-toxic polycarbonate thermo-resin and know as LEXAN™, MAKROLON®, Makroclear®, arcoPlus®, and others. They are tougher and more heat resistant than our acrylic sheets.  During the customization process, you can choose a square or rectangle shape with a glass thickness of ⅛” or ¼“. All sheets are clear and have a seamed edge that is not polished which makes them perfectly suitable for most applications. They are both prone to scratching, flexible, and very sturdy. Its lightweight and shatter resistant properties add a great choice for areas where safety is very important.

Where to Use Plexiglass

When you need a more flexible and sturdy glass, Plexiglass is a perfect choice. Sneeze guards are commonly made from plexiglass, but the material can also be used for more residential purposes, such as shower frames, as it is slip resistant and shatterproof. It is also popular to use them for projects such as greenhouses and even picture frames.

Where to Use Polycarbonate Glass

Some typical items made of polycarbonate sheets include helmets, face shields, airplane and ship portholes, instrument components, and electrical insulators - to name just a few. It's the choice for safety, thermal protection, security, clarity, and strength. At this time, we offer only flat polycarbonate sheets that are a great choice for some specific applications like skylights, green houses, boat windows, glass roofing, auto parts, agriculture, high-pressure areas, and table and antique protectors.

Sneeze Guards & Protective Partitions

Different configurations of plexiglass guards can be customized to fit your needs for the safety of employees and customers. This includes sneeze guards, workplace partitions, checkout counter barriers, desk dividers, and hanging panels. Dulles Glass ensures that its products are easy to work with for commercial and residential users and DIYers.
