The panels were perfect
The panels were the perfect size and so easy to do. I was worried about priming them but just used white emulsion and then painted them. They look brilliant. They also were delivered earlier than expected so that was a bonus

Purchased 2 x 1340 x 610 3mm acrylic for a green house, plus a triangle and everything was cut correctly and the edges were finished very well. Much better than blown out broken glass panels nearly every year to the storms! When the next glass brakes CutMy will be my first choice and recommendation-Thanks very much!

Great service and product
Great service and product. Perfect greenhouse replacement. Just dropped one star because my request for a bespoke cut was slower than it took to ship my order… so I had to cut myself. They did apologise though. I would use again.
