1/4" frosted (both sides) in practice
At 1/4" the surface finish carries the look; the material itself is doing structural work.
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: 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.
1/4" frosted (both sides) (color 000MD) starts at $10.18 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" frosted (both sides) 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 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.
