              The description says "Durable foam PVC sheets for versatility". Is it acrylic or PVC?? If it's acrylic, is it cast or extruded?
              ByOct 1, 2021
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              It is acrylic - sometimes better known by the brand name Plexiglass. It is not polycarbonate, which many know by Lexan. I don't know if it is extruded or cast. Acrylic can be brittle, but at least in the 0.100" thickness I bought it was pretty flexible.

                Yes they are clear. My wife wanted more light in our laundry room, so I turned a "stock" metal solid core door into one that fits the decor of our log home. I used two panels of this acrylic sheet to build in a double pane window in the door as well as surface it with thin slabs of pine (also sold at HD). It now has the appearance of a wooden door. You will notice the door has a dog door for our pets.

                Yes, this item is clear. I used it for repairing a broken pane of clear acrylic on a child's play oven and it worked perfectly.

                I made bird feeders and use the Optix for windows to see the level of bird food. I put the Artscape window film on two of the bird feeder windows.

                This is a perfect produce for a temporary window to cover the space left by putting your air conditioner in a window. Use the blue handle scribe (doesn’t have a brand name) to score the size and score both sides and break it off one the edge of a table. This product also works great for a temporary clear replacement for a broken window on your car. You can even clean out the channel of broken glass and with a lot of trimming you can make it open and close.

                I bought a sheet to use on one of my doors. My dog uses this door to let us know he wants to go outside. He does this by scratching the door surface below the handle. I am in the process of repairing the scratches and repainting the surface. I will then install a piece of this sheet on the door surface so the dog doesn't do any more damage. The sheet is thin so you have to be careful when drilling and countersinking the acrylic so the mounting screw heads are flush with the sheet surface. Make sure the drills are sharp and go slowly to avoid cracking

                They say you can cut this by scoring and break but I didn’t have any luck with this . I bought the scoring tool and scored it on both sides several times but it didn’t break on scored line I ruined on piece trying this. Finally got a 200 tooth plywood blade for my table saw and cut it that way with no problems,
