20mm Acrylic Sheet Details

20mm Acrylic Sheets are a great alternative to glass, as they are cheaper, 10x stronger and much lighter than the equivalent thickness of glass. With a high gloss finish, they can be great for more creative purposes such as Acrylic photo blocks or display blocks as even at this thickness, clear acrylic maintains its excellent light transmission.

At Cut My, we can provide you with your 20mm Clear Acrylic Sheets cut to size for your specific requirements with industry-leading accuracy of +/- 1mm. We can also provide polished edges on our cut sheets if you require a more attractive finish, and we do recommend this with our thicker clear acrylic like this one, as the edges are more notable. 20mm Acrylic Sheets can also be easily maintained by cleaning them with a microfibre cloth and some plastic polish.

If you are unsure if 20mm Clear Acrylic Sheets are the right thickness for you, feel free to order a sample from us to ensure it is suitable for your requirements before placing your final order.

If you are looking for something more eye-catching, have a look at our coloured Perspex® acrylic sheets!

100% recyclable logo

100% Recyclable

Perspex® Acrylic is 100% recyclable. Waste products can readily be recovered from the original raw material (the monomer) and re-used in a new sheet.

Perspex® has been manufactured in the UK for over 85 years and still takes place on the same site in Lancashire as it did in the 1930s. This short supply distance to our UK customers helps reduce ‘product miles’ from the manufacturing plant to the end user.

Numerous different investments have already been made by Perspex® to lessen the impact on the environment. Annual waste consumption has been reduced by 24 million litres, and almost 800 tonnes of carbon dioxide have been saved every year as part of a hot water recycling project. At Cut My, we work to be more sustainable by using all of our offcuts to heat our manufacturing facility. We are also currently working towards reducing our packaging.

Technical Sheet

Frequently Asked Questions for 20mm Clear Acrylic Sheets

What’s the difference between 20mm Clear Perspex® and 20mm Clear Acrylic?

Perspex® is a brand of acrylic plastic. They are the same.

What's the difference between 20mm Clear Acrylic and 20mm Clear Polycarbonate?

Acrylic sheets are cheaper and more scratch resistant than Polycarbonate, however, Polycarbonate is 30x stronger than Acrylic so it is a more impact-resistant alternative.

Can I get samples of your 20mm Clear acrylic?

You can request samples of any of our products: When on the store page for the material you are interested in, first select the thickness you want, then scroll down and find the "Request Sample" button. This will add one sample unit to the shopping cart. Make sure to check your shopping cart before checking out.

Acrylic samples come as 10cm squares and are intended to let you see the colour or finish in real life. For coloured acrylic, sometimes we won't have sample stock of the exact thickness you ask for, but you'll still get the right colours. Clear and tinted samples will always be the correct thickness as the thickness can be important for the properties of the product.

Do I need polished edges?

If your item is going to be on display and is not going to be set into a frame, we recommend opting for polished edges when possible. This will leave the edges as smooth and transparent as the surface. Without this, your item may have slightly visible tool marks along the cut surfaces. This is particularly important for items that will be handled, as the edges would otherwise be rough. The effect of a polished edge will be more visible on thicker sheets of Acrylic.

Is 20mm Clear Perspex® food safe?

Perspex® Acrylic Sheets comply with current EU and American (FDA) food contact regulations.

Why is my Acrylic the wrong colour?

All of our acrylic products will be shipped with a thin protective film covering both faces. This could be a variety of colours: blue, green and white are common, and may not have any branding or logos printed on it to make it obvious that it’s there. The cutting process can sometimes melt the film at the edges, causing it to stick very tightly to the surface of your acrylic, making it tricky to peel off. Work at the edges or corners carefully with a craft knife to make it release, then peel it off carefully.

If you are doing any installation or modification, you might want to leave the film in place while handling your new acrylic panels, to minimise scrapes and prevent fingerprints.

Important note about our acrylic splashbacks: If you have ordered one of our premium or budget splashbacks, then it will have a protective foil or vinyl on the back of it. Do not peel this off as it is there to prevent any adhesive from showing through the sheet. The protective foil will have a blue sticker on it informing you not to peel it off.

Is 20mm Clear Perspex® heat resistant?

Perspex® sheets will melt at high temperatures or from exposure to direct flames. The melting point for 20mm Clear Perspex® is 80̊C so they cannot withstand extreme temperatures.

Can I put 20mm Clear Acrylic behind a hob?

Electric, ceramic and induction hobs are safe to have acrylic panels behind them but there must be at least a 50mm gap between the panel and the hob. The safest option is to use a glass splashback for gas hobs. Please see our splashbacks page for more information on cooker types and acrylic.

Is Cut My able to fabricate my product?

We can cut to various sizes and shapes out of flat sheets in a range of thicknesses.

Can 20mm Clear Perspex® be painted or printed on?

Yes, 20mm Clear Perspex® can be painted or printed on as it has a smooth flat surface. However, choosing the right type of paint or ink is important to ensure adhesion and durability. It's also important to follow proper preparation and application techniques to avoid smudging or other issues.

How can I clean 20mm Clear Perspex®?

Keeping your 20mm Clear Perspex® clean and hygienic is easy to maintain, as all that is required is warm soapy water and a microfibre cloth. Please avoid using abrasive cleaners or materials, as these can scratch the surface of the material.

How resistant to scratching are your Acrylic Sheets?

Acrylic is not as scratch resistant as a similar panel of glass, but light surface marks can be more easily buffed out from acrylic. We offer a higher scratch protection finish on our 20mm Acrylic if you need extra safeguarding.

How can I remove scratches from 20mm Clear Acrylic?

You can easily remove scratches from Acrylic with a Microfibre cloth and a high-quality polish. Following the instructions on the polish, the scratches will be removed using small circular motions.

How can I cut 20mm Clear acrylic sheets?

While it is possible to cut Acrylic Sheets yourself, we do suggest that you request it cut-to-size before ordering as we can expertly and safely meet your requirements. We use a variety of tools here at Cut My, including saws, routers and lasers and our staff have plenty of safety equipment and knowledge of the correct techniques for cutting acrylic sheets. If you must cut acrylic sheets yourself, you will need a skill saw with an acrylic blade or a router to prevent chipping.

How do I attach 20mm Clear Perspex® sheets to other materials?

20mm Clear Perspex® can be attached to other materials using a variety of methods, including screws and adhesives. The specific method used would depend on the intended application and the materials being joined.

Is 20mm Clear Perspex® recyclable?

20mm Clear Perspex® is recyclable, however, as it’s not bio-degradable the process is not as easy as putting it in your recycle bin or taking it to a bottle bank. But you can re-use Perspex® by cutting larger sheets into small pieces and forming them into other products.

Does 20mm Clear Acrylic block UV or infrared?

Acrylic Sheets are resistant to UV, however, they don’t block it. All of the Perspex® sheets that we stock are also not fully infrared blocking.

The quality of the product was excellent. Without holding it I would have thought it was glass. It was expertly cut to my specifications and did the job that I needed it for. The reason I docked one star for 'value for money' was because I was charged a small order fee which significantly added to the cost of the order. However, I knew about this before ordering and it would certainly not deter me from using this company again.
