Acrylic largely derived from petroleum - less green

Glass breaks and Plexiglas scratches.

Plex will not break under normal transit conditions

Plex weighs less than glass

Acrylic is more expensive

Plexiglas has outstanding optical clarity

Plexiglas is more color neutral

Normal glass tends towards a greenish tint.

We recommend acrylic for these situations:
