Default Where can I get clear perspex from?
Need 2 pieces, say 5mm thick, maybe thinner of 16" x 29"

Where is going to be the best place?

b&q and wickes both sell it but it will cost a fortune, i priced some for my shed and i was about £80

try searching for a plastics supplier near you.

This is only 3mm but youd get 4 out of the sheet so if you doubled it up to 6mm youd be laughing, you'll get it for a fiver aswell

Google Ensinger. Thats where we get most of our sheet/rod plastics from at work. If you have no look, let us know and I'll try and get in touch with them through work

thompsons plastics, local plastic company to me,

will make anything you want from perspex windows, to a whole display stand for goods.

020 8680 9101

not the easiest company to deal with but do come up with the goods.

I use Amari Plastics for my sign materials so might be worth calling them. They are based all over the country
