Perspex/Acrylic supplier wanted

[Bigtone]

I'm looking for some fairly big sheets of frosted clear perspex/acrylic for some redecoration i'm doing at home, and from spending a couple of days looking around the web for suppliers, quotes are looking around the £200 mark

Sizes are 26cm x 83cm, 176cm x 83cm & 88cm x 83cm

Just wondered if anyone here deals with this stuff, or could recommend a decent supplier?

Cheers, Tony

Not sure about the really big piece, but Wickes sell this stuff in large sheets. Otherwise, your local glass merchants will help.

The cheap stuff will go yellow and get brittle with age. Then again real Perspex (TM) costs a fortune.

It is not the cheapest stuff in the world, but I may be able to help. Drop me a line with detailed requirements. such as thickness (3mm much cheaper than 5mm) and which bits are clear and which are frosted. (it would be best to go for one or the other across the job as it can all come out of one sheet). We tend to buy to order rather than stock, but with our buying power I should get decent prices for you. I see you are in Bedfordshire. We have a facility in Kempston, on the outskirts of Bedford, so you could potentially collect it as shipping is expensive and the potential for damage is significant!

Thanks for your replies folks - Jon H, am sending you mail now.

In the meantime i've discovered this stuff, which may go over clear, dropping the price, as long as the effect is the same:
