3/4" Clear Extruded Acrylic Sheet - 48" x 96"

Why Choose 3/4" Clear Acrylic at Full Sheet Size?

The 3/4" thickness represents ultra-specialty acrylic for applications with extreme requirements that exceed standard material specifications. This exceptional sheet delivers extraordinary structural mass for installations demanding absolute maximum capacity, handles extreme water pressure for major commercial aquarium viewing panels, and provides substantial material thickness that approaches architectural glass in rigidity while maintaining acrylic's superior optical clarity. At approximately 142 pounds per full sheet, this is extraordinary material for extraordinary applications where engineering calculations or design specifications explicitly mandate thickness beyond standard availability.

With 92% light transmission—superior to polycarbonate—this thickness maintains acrylic's renowned optical clarity advantage in an exceptional material specification rarely required outside specialized installations. The full 48" x 96" size enables large-scale projects for major public aquariums, monumental architectural installations, and specialty engineering applications where both crystal-clear transparency and extreme structural capacity are non-negotiable requirements. This thickness is specified when standard acrylic options—even 1/2"—cannot meet demanding engineering calculations, when major aquarium installations require absolute maximum pressure resistance with optical clarity, or when architectural visions demand material presence that only exceptional thickness can provide.

This Thickness Excels When You Need:

• Extreme aquarium water pressure resistance - Essential thickness for major commercial aquarium viewing panels, public aquatic displays, and large-scale installations where extraordinary water pressure demands material beyond standard specifications
• Maximum structural capacity with optical clarity - Exceptional deflection resistance for extreme-span installations exceeding 90 inches or applications where engineering analysis indicates standard acrylic thicknesses provide insufficient safety factors
• Monumental architectural installations - Extraordinary material presence for large-scale architectural features, artistic installations, and design elements where substantial thickness creates dramatic visual impact alongside structural performance
• Specialty engineering requirements - Meets extreme specifications for applications where calculations explicitly mandate thickness beyond standard availability—specialized enclosures, pressure vessels, or installations with extraordinary load requirements
• Professional aquarium construction standards - Specified by professional aquarium builders and marine architects for installations where public safety, marine life protection, and long-term structural integrity demand absolute maximum acrylic material

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. Optix® acrylic meets ASTM D4802 standards for extruded acrylic sheet, ensuring consistent quality, optical clarity, and performance even in this exceptional thickness. Extruded acrylic offers excellent dimensional stability and superior optical properties, making it the professional choice for ultra-specialty applications requiring extreme material thickness with exceptional clarity.

When to Choose 3/4" Acrylic Over Other Thicknesses

Select 3/4" acrylic only when engineering specifications explicitly require material beyond standard 1/2" thickness, when you're constructing major commercial aquarium viewing panels for public displays requiring extreme pressure resistance, or when monumental architectural installations demand extraordinary material presence with superior optical clarity. This thickness is specified by professional aquarium builders for large public installations, by architects for monumental feature installations, and by engineers for specialized applications where standard thicknesses demonstrably cannot meet performance requirements.

For the vast majority of applications—including most architectural glazing, specialty displays, and even large residential aquariums—1/2" acrylic provides adequate performance at substantially lower cost and weight. However, when professional aquarium construction standards mandate thickness beyond 1/2", when engineering calculations for extreme installations require extraordinary material, or when architectural visions demand the impact of truly exceptional thickness with crystal-clear transparency, 3/4" delivers performance that standard specifications cannot provide. This is ultra-specialty material for applications where anything less is genuinely insufficient.
