What colors does plexiglass come in? Tinted plexiglass comes in a wide range of colors and transparencies, which are typically denoted by a four digit number. At Acme Plastics, we have a wide range of colors, including: Amber plexiglass acrylic sheet (2422)

Standard plexiglass prices are typically $10 per square foot. But with the high demand of plexiglass, costs can be upwards of $30 per square foot.

1. Roughen the surface of the plexiglass very lightly with wet sandpaper.
2. Wipe the plexiglass clean with a cloth to remove the dust from sanding.
3. Cover anything surrounding the plexiglass that you don’t want to get tint on with masking tape and plastic sheeting.
4. Let the paint dry in a well ventilated area.

Acrylic sheets are not inherently UV resistant, but they can be manufactured to be OP3 UV resistant, or a special UV coating can be applied to the surface. As well, many colored acrylic sheets are inherently UV resistance due to certain dyes and pigments.

Glass tends to cost less than plexiglass, and can be more scratch resistant and more easily recycled. In general, long-term maintenance and replacement costs can be significantly cheaper with plexiglass.

Most homeowners settle for ⅛ or ¼ thickness, which is quite clear and allows plenty of light inside your room. However, if you want the glass to be a little thicker, you can opt for 3/16, which is more resistant. In general, all forms of plexiglass are appropriate for any bad weather.

Standard tinted colors (also available in our samples section) include red, green, yellow, ivory, brown, orange and blue. Typically used for signs and lighting applications, these plexiglass sheets transmit light when backlit. As the plexiglass increases in thickness, the amount of light passed through decreases.

With transparent colored plexiglass, light is capable of passing through the material making it possible to see through it. Plexiglass (acrylic) can be used for a number of applications such as signage, glazing, displays, aquarium tanks, custom computer cases, and much more.
