Common Industries That Use Acrylic

At Piedmont Plastics, we regularly supply acrylic sheet to companies in the following industries:

When that material also needs to be clear and have a high molecular weight, cast acrylic sheets are the right choice. With so many thickness options and finishes, this sheet material provides building and construction professionals many options for their designs.

Commercial and Structural Glazing

Because cast acrylic sheet is so strong, it makes the best option for structural glazing. Create weather and storm-resistant windows, large, bulletproof windows, durable skylights and even clean rooms can all benefit from structural glazing, and that requires cast acrylic sheet.

Displays and Point of Sale

Who says a display must be made from cardboard? You can give your display or point of sale shelving an upgraded look with affordable cast acrylic sheet. Make your product and its shelving stand out with the help of the right basic materials.

Exhibit, Trade Show and Convention Displays

The key to a trade show booth that stands out is the overall design. Because acrylic sheet can be molded and bent to the exact lines you want, you can use it to create a durable display that will grab attention. The strength of this material means your display will stand up under the rigorous tradeshow circuit as well.

Machine Shops

Machine shops require the right base materials to provide their customers with a superior finished product. Piedmont Plastics regularly supplies machine shops with custom cut acrylic sheet for their needs.

Plastic and Metal Fabrication

Custom cutting, bending and other fabrication services allow plastic and metal fabrication companies to benefit from the cast acrylic sheet offered from Piedmont Plastics. With cut-to-size sheet, companies can craft the final products their customers demand, knowing that they will be durable and effective.

Recreation

Sporting equipment, stadium design, and even watercraft manufacturing can all benefit from acrylic sheet. Acrylic sheet, because of its impact and corrosion resistance, is an ideal choice for boat windshields, sporting venue windows, and even facemasks or eye protection.

Signage

Not all signs are solid. For lighted signs and other applications, clear cast acrylic sheet makes a great foundational material. Acrylic can also be laser-cut into channel letters of various styles, making it perfect for creating raised block lettering that can be mounted on a broad range of surfaces. In addition, acrylic's transparency and ability to diffuse light evenly make acrylic a preferred product for illuminated signs.

In each of these applications, manufacturers know they can trust Piedmont Plastics to provide superior, custom cut plastic sheet material. With over 50 years of industry expertise, we can help you find the right type of acrylic sheet for your project!
