1/4" red in practice
Translucent stock diffuses rather than transmits, and thickness controls how much: at 1/4" it softens a light source considerably, hiding lamps and LEDs behind an even glow at the cost of brightness.
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: CO2 cuts it without trouble. A diode usually will too — pigment is what absorbs the beam — but translucent shades vary, so test an offcut before committing a sheet.
1/4" red (colour 2793) runs $12.14 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" red 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 Red acrylic
Red 2793 is a translucent red, its own shade among our reds. It transmits an even red glow when lit and stays saturated unlit — good for light boxes, signage, and craft applications. Specify the 2793 code when matching.
