1/4" brown in practice
Opaque stock blocks light entirely, so at 1/4" the decision is structural and visual rather than optical — you are choosing how solid the piece needs to feel and look.
This is the first gauge that stands up on its own: rigid enough for free-standing pieces, risers and structural parts rather than only framed panels.
In a laser: pigment absorbs the beam, so this cuts on a CO2 machine and on a diode, though a diode will need several passes at this thickness.
1/4" brown (colour 2418) runs $11.39 per square foot at this gauge 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" brown 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 Brown acrylic
Brown 2418 is a solid, opaque brown — a finished, glossy surface that blocks light entirely. Its earthy, wood-adjacent tone suits retail fixtures, hospitality signage, and warm-toned display pieces. For the same brown with a soft, non-glare face, see Brown Matte 2418M.
