1/4" frosted-through clear 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-through clear (color 000FR) starts at $17.91 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-through clear 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-Through Clear acrylic
Frosted-Through Clear is frosted all the way through the sheet, not just on the face. Our standard frosted (matte) clear is a clear sheet with the matte finish on one side; this one is made frosted as the sheet is formed — not coated, etched or sandblasted — so both faces read the same, there is no gloss side to orient or protect, and a cut edge comes out frosted to match. That is the reason to choose it: pieces where the cut edge shows (risers, dividers, laser-cut letters and shapes, nameplates, shelf and tabletop edges), parts seen or handled from both sides, and light boxes and diffuser panels where the frosted look should carry into the edge. It arrives paper-masked and laser cuts. Saw-cut and diamond-polished edges stay frosted; flame polishing turns the edge glossy, so leave it off if the edges should match the faces. If your design depends on a light-transmission figure, ask us before ordering.
