3/16" clear in practice

Transparent stock at 3/16" reads as a clean pane — you see the object behind it, not the material.

Here the sheet starts to feel stiff in the hand and spans further without visible bow, while staying easy to cut and drill on ordinary tools.

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.

3/16" clear (colour 000) runs $7.50 per square foot at this gauge and weighs about 1.17 lb per square foot, so a 24″ × 48″ piece comes to roughly 9.4 lb — worth knowing before you size a panel someone has to lift or ship.

Why 3/16" clear acrylic?

A middle step between 1/8″ and 1/4″. The extra thickness adds noticeably more rigidity while keeping weight down, so it holds its shape better across medium panels — useful for signage, partitions, and light-duty panels that need a bit more backbone than 1/8″.

About Clear acrylic

Clear acrylic is the original — optically clean, about as transparent as glass but roughly half the weight and far harder to shatter. It's the default for glazing, display cases, tabletop covers, sneeze guards, and picture-frame glazing: anywhere you want the material itself to disappear and the contents to be the show. Polished edges on clear stock look like water.

Made to order. Not every color and thickness is stocked at all times — if yours is temporarily out, we make or source it and ship as soon as it's back in stock. On a deadline? Email us before you order and we'll confirm your expected ship date.
