Looking to get an acrylic sheet to fight Covid-19? Not sure if you should get an acrylic sheet or a plexiglass barrier? Not sure what the difference between them is? You’ve come to the right spot!
In today’s blog, we are going to explain the difference between an acrylic sheet and a plexiglass barrier. We are also going to explain what acrylic sheets are, where to use them and whether or not you should install them yourself.
The difference between an acrylic sheet and a plexiglass barrier:
Nothing: They are both the exact same!
What is an acrylic sheet?
Many people get confused with what an acrylic sheet is. This is due to the famous name of plexiglass. According to Plastic Sheets Shop, acrylic is the abbreviation for polymethine and Plexiglass is one of many brand names of this plastic. Missouri Glass Co explains how plexiglass and acrylic products have very similar qualities.
This is the same situation as Ibuprofen vs Advil. The brand name Advil has become so popular that many people are confused about what Ibuprofen is when they are the same thing.
Acrylic sheets are almost a century old. The production of this material began in the 1930s. Acrylic sheets have been used for many different things throughout history but lately, they have been used to help fight Covid-19. We have been building custom plexiglass barriers for several companies to help make their workplace safer.

Can you install acrylic sheets yourself?
Many people ask us if they can install acrylic sheets by themself. The answer is always the same: you can but there are many downsides to doing this project on your own, especially if you are doing it in your workplace.
You can get acrylic sheets online or in-store but they are not custom made. If you buy them online, they are prone to having mistakes made when you set them up. Problems like:
Gaps
Flimsiness
Poor structure
Poor stands
This will create many issues and not provide the full amount of safety to your workers and customers. Doing this installation yourself can make your business look very unprofessional.
We suggest getting acrylic sheets made professionally and custom-made to provide your workplace with improved safety and professionalism.
