Acrylic & Plexiglass in Custom Displays
We do not sell acrylic or plexiglass sheets. We cut, form and integrate them into custom displays, illuminated details, covers and branded components within complete commercial fit-out projects.
What we manufacture with it
Standchi is not a material supplier. Product displays, protective covers, illuminated logo and signage details, shelf elements, light boxes and selected transparent or coloured components.
Material selection is part of a larger design-and-build project. Continue to the service that matches your space: Café Design · Restaurant Design · Store & Shop Design · Showroom Design · Mall Kiosk Design.
Why we use it in commercial fit-outs
Acrylic (PMMA), commonly called plexiglass, is a rigid plastic sheet with high clarity and gloss. It is far lighter than glass and impact-resistant; because it transmits light very well, it is especially favoured in illuminated applications.
- Cast acrylic: High optical quality, suitable for laser cutting and forming.
- Extruded acrylic: Economical, with precise thickness tolerance; suitable for bending and thermoforming.
- Clear / coloured / opal: Clear, coloured or light-diffusing opal (frosted) options.
Options we specify by project
Surface & optics
- Clear: Glass-like clarity for displays and protective surfaces.
- Opal (light-transmitting): Diffuses light evenly; ideal for light boxes and letters.
- Coloured / mirrored: Decorative detail, wayfinding and advertising.
Processing methods
It is shaped by laser cutting (glossy edge), CNC milling, heat bending (thermoforming), bonding and polishing.
What matters in fabrication
| Transparency | Light transmission up to 92% |
|---|---|
| Weight | About half that of glass |
| Impact resistance | Markedly higher than glass |
| Thicknesses | 2 – 25 mm and above |
| Processing | Laser, CNC, thermoform, bonding |
| Use | Mostly indoor; UV-resistant grades for outdoors |
Where we use it
It stands out wherever light and transparency are needed:
- Illuminated box letters, logos and signage
- Displays, product stands and protective barriers
- Menu/price boards and wayfinding
- Decorative shelves, partitions and lighting diffusers
- Display cases and showcase units
Why we specify it selectively
Advantages
- Lighter than glass and impact-resistant
- Transmits light perfectly — ideal for illuminated work
- Clean, glossy edge with laser; easy to shape
- Wide choice of clear, coloured and opal
Points to consider
- Its surface scratches more easily than glass
- Expands with heat; allowance must be left during installation
- The standard grade can yellow under UV (use the UV grade outdoors)
After installation
Dust is removed with a soft damp cloth or an antistatic acrylic cleaner; paper towels and abrasive cleaners cause scratches. Light scratches can be removed with acrylic polishing paste. Harsh chemicals containing alcohol/acetone should be avoided.
How we apply it at Standchi
With laser cutting and CNC we produce acrylic letters, boards, displays and decorative pieces with precise, glossy edges. We build back- and edge-lit solutions with LED integration, combining coloured, opal and clear options to suit the project's concept.
