1/16" frosted (both sides) in practice
At 1/16" the surface finish carries the look; the material itself is doing structural work.
At this thickness the sheet flexes easily and is better thought of as a facing than a panel — it wants a frame or a backing behind it, and it will bow under its own weight over any real span.
In a laser: CO2 machines cut acrylic cleanly at this thickness; never put polycarbonate or PVC in a laser.
The matte face hides fingerprints and cuts glare, and it will not polish back to gloss if scratched — keep the masking on until the piece is installed.
1/16" frosted (both sides) (color 000MD) starts at $6.00 for a 12″ × 12″ piece at this thickness, and weighs about 0.39 lb per square foot, so a 24″ × 48″ piece comes to roughly 3.1 lb — worth knowing before you size a panel someone has to lift or ship.
Why 1/16" frosted (both sides) acrylic?
At 1/16″ acrylic stops behaving like a panel and starts behaving like a sheet — light, slightly flexible, and easy to cut, score and drill. It is the right call when weight or clearance matters more than rigidity: model making, layered inlays and shims, lightweight signage faces, glazing for small frames, and protective facings that need to sit almost flush. Anything free-standing or load-bearing wants 1/8″ or thicker. We cut 1/16″ to order rather than holding it in every colour, so the range at this thickness is a short one — clear, white, black and smoke gray; the colours offered are the ones listed on this page.
About Frosted (both sides) acrylic
Frosted (both sides) — or matte acrylic; the two names mean the same finish — is clear sheet with the matte face on both sides and no gloss face at all. Like the one-sided version it turns light into an even glow, hides fingerprints, and cuts glare, but from either direction, so there is no side to orient: the piece looks the same front and back. Choose it where both faces are seen or touched — free-standing partitions, two-sided signs, light fixtures viewed from both sides, and shelving where a gloss back would show.
