3/16" Clear Polycarbonate Sheet - Cut to Size

Why Choose Cut-to-Size 3/16" Clear Polycarbonate?

Custom cutting at 3/16" thickness provides the optimal combination of heavy-duty performance and cost efficiency in your exact dimensions. This strategic thickness delivers noticeably superior structural integrity compared to 1/8" sheets—approaching the rigidity of 1/4" material—while keeping costs notably lower than premium options. Our precision CNC cutting ensures clean edges and exact measurements, delivering custom panels that provide serious protection without overbuilding your budget or specifications.

The 3/16" thickness handles demanding applications with confidence, providing excellent deflection resistance for spans up to 36 inches with proper frame support. Whether you need exact dimensions for heavy-duty protective barriers, industrial machine guard replacements, or custom security glazing, cut-to-size service delivers professional results with tolerances of ±1/8". You get substantially more material than 1/8" provides at meaningfully better pricing than 1/4" sheets—the smart specification when you need serious performance in custom dimensions.

Cut-to-Size Advantages with 3/16" Thickness:

• Strategic cost-to-performance balance - Get custom heavy-duty panels at 3/16" pricing, achieving most of 1/4" performance while avoiding both 1/8" limitations and premium material costs
• Zero material waste - Pay only for your exact size in a thickness that delivers serious structural integrity without unnecessary over-specification
• Enhanced structural performance - The 3/16" thickness provides substantially better rigidity than 1/8" in custom dimensions, handling demanding applications with confidence
• Professional precision - CNC cutting delivers square corners and straight edges that maintain the structural advantages of this heavy-duty thickness
• Fast turnaround - Most custom cuts ship within 1-2 business days, providing serious protection without project delays or premium 1/4" expenses

Ideal Projects for Custom-Cut 3/16" Polycarbonate

This thickness excels in custom applications requiring heavy-duty protection without maximum-duty specifications. Perfect for high-traffic protective barriers with specific dimensions, industrial machine guard replacements on equipment with significant impact potential, custom security glazing requiring superior rigidity, retail displays in demanding environments, and commercial partitions where enhanced structural performance matters. The 3/16" thickness provides the substantial material presence and performance of thick polycarbonate while maintaining better cost efficiency than 1/4" custom panels.

Trusted Manufacturing Quality

Our clear polycarbonate sheets are sourced from North America's most respected manufacturers—the same materials specified for critical commercial and industrial applications. Whether we supply Lexan® 9034 from Polyvantis, Tuffak® GP from Plaskolite, or Azcarb® GP from AZpolymers, you're receiving genuine general-purpose polycarbonate that meets ASTM D3935 standards. Our supplier may vary based on availability, but the quality and performance remain consistently exceptional.

Sizing Guidelines

Available in any width from 1" to 48" and any length from 1" to 96". The 3/16" thickness is ideal for custom panels with demanding requirements (up to 36 inches span) that need more structural integrity than 1/8" provides without committing to 1/4" costs. For maximum-impact industrial environments or unsupported spans over 42 inches, consider upgrading to 1/4" thickness. For moderate-duty applications under 30 inches, our 1/8" cut-to-size option may provide adequate performance at greater cost savings.
