1/4" amber in practice
Transparent stock at 1/4" reads as a piece with visible depth, where the edge color and the thickness itself become part of the look.
This is the first thickness that stands up on its own: rigid enough for free-standing pieces, risers and structural parts rather than only framed panels.
In a laser: a CO2 machine cuts this cleanly and leaves a flame-polished edge. A diode laser will not cut it at any setting — the beam passes straight through transparent acrylic.
1/4" amber (color 2422) starts at $9.52 for a 12″ × 12″ piece at this thickness, and weighs about 1.56 lb per square foot, so a 24″ × 48″ piece comes to roughly 12.5 lb — worth knowing before you size a panel someone has to lift or ship.
Why 1/4" amber acrylic?
The all-purpose workhorse and our most popular thickness. At 1/4″, acrylic is rigid enough to stand on its own in most sizes, which is why it's the default for tabletops, shelving, risers, desk shields, and protective barriers. If you're unsure which thickness to choose, this is usually the right starting point.
About Amber acrylic
Amber 2422 is a transparent, honey-gold acrylic — see-through like tinted glass with a warm cast. It filters light into a golden tone when backlit, which suits lighting lenses, decorative panels, and displays wanting a vintage or warm-glow feel. Sits in our 'other color' tier, available up to 1/4″ thick.
