Customer Reviews for OPTIX 48 in. x 96 in. x 0.118 (1/8) in. Clear Acrylic Sheet

Needed something to block the base of the stairway going upstairs for our new puppy. This was lightweight and easy to move when needed.

I don’t leave reviews usually, however, though the product is correct, the packaging lacked proper protection for the product. Two pieces had a two inch crack on the same corner. There was no padding or protection for the product inside the box it was delivered in and the box itself was just a regular thin cardboard, not thick at all. I won’t be buying any plexiglass to be delivered again from HD! I DONT blame the person who delivered the item in any way !

Arrived with two broken corners and an 8 inch crack. Very poorly packaged, just loose in a box with a thin piece of cardboard. For the high price Home Depot could afford a little bubble wrap!

We purchased the OPTIX 24" x 48" x 1/8" Black Acrylic Sheet because we wanted to make a plastic panel face to replace our steel framed shower panel that started to rust. Having had experience with acrylics made working with this panel an easy task. The density of the 1/8" acrylic, or material strength, is enough to hold the entire shower plumbing consisting of metal valves and plastic tubing and nozzles weighing 14 pounds (6.35Kg). Cutting the sheet to size required a 60 tooth fine cut blade at 3000 rpm on the table saw and a smooth slow feed so as to not melt the acrylic. Cutting various round holes did not require any special tooling as we used normal wood cutting hole cutters at 1200 rpm on the drill press. The feel was slow down and up quickly so as not to melt the acrylic. We recommend the OPTIX 24 in. x 48 in. x 0.118 1/8 in. Black Acrylic Sheet for any project where it can be used as it's easy to work with using woodworking tools, be glued with acrylic or epoxy adhesive (our preference) and the edges, so as to not leave then sharp, can be smoothed out with 140 grit sandpaper. Highly recommended!

Package was fairly intact but when I opened it, the corners of the mirrors were broken.

Worked perfect to make windows for my shed doors and 0.93 was just the right thickness, was worried it would be too thin but size of the window and having a frame, it was fine. I did find it harder to cut by scoring then I thought it would be, it was definitely a learning experience but all and all, really pleased.

Just touching it with your fingers left scratches... wishing I had stuck with glass!

I thought this would be better than glass because it's break resistance... the chipping when you cut it on a table saw may have happened because of the blade I used.... but the scratches when I touched it with my fingers, is why I took this second piece back to home depot!

The acrylic piece was the perfect size for my slop sink. Very happy with the purchase.

Bought this to cover a Hermit Crab Cage. Good quality and was easy to cut, shape and drill. Clear as glass and worked perfect for the application I needed.

The sheets is cracked! Now have to figure out return

Perfect it was a bit flimsy however it got the job done!

Perfect size for project

Optix 48 works perfect for the project, The owners of condo’s recently installed split a/c and wanted installed into louvre window frames , works good with louvre window opened keeping cold air in and blocking out sound from the outside of building .

I needed a clear barrier to mount to the edge of the shelf that runs the perimeter of my workshop for my model trains. This worked out perfectly. I cut the sheet into 36" long by 3" strips and after drilling holes every 4 inches on one side, mounted them to the shelf that my double-track trains run on. This was needed to prevent trains from falling 7 feet to the floor in case of a derailment.

I have a dog that goes ballistic if there is a cat outside "his" window. I've been placing a baby gate across the window to prevent him from breaking the window. I found window sill protectors made of acrylic, then I cut the sheet of Optix to fit the window across the wide and to the top of the bottom half of the window. I used Velcro to attach it to the metal frame of the window. Looks fantastic and protects my window sill from scratches and the glass from breaking! Very pleased with the results.

This product was better than I expected. I needed needed a slightly different size so I had to cut them down to fit my job. The panels were easy to work with and cut nicely with a sharp utility knife.

Replaced a broken window. This acrylic is clear and strong. It does what it's intended to do. It would have got 5 starts if it had installed itself...

DIY Acrylic Sign for an event. Kinda filmsy but got the job done.

I bought this to reinforce a cracked basketball backboard. It is the same thickness and acrylic glue was used for a permanent bond. All seemed perfect until it was used and it shattered after 2 backboard shots.

Worked perfect for what I needed

Used to make a template for cutting leather. Cut with table saw.

I purchased to build an acrylic box for mold making. I am not new to using acrylic sheeting, go through quite a bit each year for past 15 years or so. This does not cut well at all. I tried the scoring method which generally works wonderfully, fail. Tried scoring both sides, again fail. Tried scoring 10 times on each side, fail.

Uniform white opaque color. Cuts very smoothly on a laser cutter and requires no further finishing. Seems pricey for a piece of acrylic sheet.

This shelf fits perfectly as a bonus middle shelf in this freezer, did not have to trim it at all. LOVE IT This fridge/freezer: https://www.homedepot.com/p/LG-Electronics-30-in-W-20-2-cu-ft-Top-Freezer-Refrigerator-in-Stainless-Steel-with-Multi-Air-Flow-and-Reversible-Door-LTCS20020S/311231763

Good product, lightweight and easy to use.

Well packaged, scratch free, ready for pick up. Cut it to size and used it as a cover for my camper's front window.

Used to make a wedding sign, it was exactly I needed and cost effective.

I made my wife a anniversary gift. Great product and easy to use once you get the hang of it. However, it is unforgiving and can be a bully. After watching YouTube videos I decided to use a saw. The material is not as firm as glass. For that you have to spend more money and get a thicker piece.
