Acrylic material is a high quality, crystal clear, durable upgrade from styrene plexiglass. It has a harder surface than most other plastics, but is still a bit softer than glass. Acrylic is scratch resistent but not scratch proof so you should take special care when handling or cleaning. Our .090" thick acrylic sheeting arrives covered in a protective clear wrapping. This clear wrap must be peeled off both sides of the acrylic to properly display your framed piece.
