Acrylic is a useful, clear plastic that resembles glass, but has properties that make it superior to glass in many ways.
It is many times stronger than glass, making it much more impact resistant and therefore safer.
Another great advantage of acrylic is that it is only half as heavy as glass. Adding to this favorable array of properties, a transparency rate of 93% makes acrylic the clearest material known.
If upgrading the windows in your house, remodeling your bathroom, or adding a beautiful aquarium, consider acrylic. It may cost a little more than glass, but its sheer clarity, light weight and insulating properties make it a superior choice for many applications.
