Professional Applications for Custom-Cut 1" Acrylic
This thickness is specified exclusively for professional applications requiring absolute maximum acrylic material in custom dimensions. Essential for major public aquarium tunnel panels in exact specifications for walk-through exhibits and deep-water systems, monumental architectural feature walls requiring custom dimensions for landmark installations, world-class marine facility construction in precise measurements for oceanariums and major attractions, and extreme engineering applications requiring specific dimensions beyond standard material capabilities. The 1" specification represents the pinnacle of acrylic material—delivered in your exact dimensions with professional fabrication expertise.
Trusted Manufacturing Quality
Our clear extruded acrylic sheets are manufactured by Optix®, a premium brand from Plaskolite—one of North America's leading acrylic producers. Even at this extraordinary 1" thickness, Optix® acrylic maintains ASTM D4802 standards for extruded acrylic sheet, ensuring consistent quality, optical clarity, and performance for the most demanding professional applications requiring absolute maximum material specifications in custom dimensions.
Professional Specification Guidelines
Available in custom widths from 1" to 48" and custom lengths from 1" to 96". The 1" thickness requires professional engineering specifications from qualified marine engineers, aquarium architects, or structural engineers and is not selected without explicit calculations mandating absolute maximum acrylic material. This specification is reserved exclusively for major public aquarium tunnel construction, world-class marine facilities, monumental architectural landmarks, and extreme engineering applications where professional analysis explicitly requires material beyond 3/4" thickness in custom dimensions. Contact us with professional engineering specifications, project scope, and timeline requirements for availability confirmation and specialized ordering procedures.
