1/2" white in practice
Translucent stock diffuses rather than transmits, and thickness controls how much: at 1/2" it softens a light source considerably, hiding lamps and LEDs behind an even glow at the cost of brightness.
Solid enough to machine, tap and edge-finish like a workpiece rather than a sheet — the range where acrylic is being used as a component, not a covering.
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, and at 1/2" a diode is optimistic regardless.
1/2" white (color 2447) starts at $15.10 for a 12″ × 12″ piece at this thickness, and weighs about 3.12 lb per square foot, so a 24″ × 48″ piece comes to roughly 25 lb — worth knowing before you size a panel someone has to lift or ship.
Why 1/2" white acrylic?
A premium, solid sheet with real presence. At 1/2″, acrylic feels like a finished slab — ideal for tabletops, structural panels, weighted bases, and machine guards. The thicker edge also takes a polish beautifully, giving a clean, glass-like border.
About White acrylic
White 2447 is a glossy translucent white that lets light through for an even backlit glow. It sits between our opaque whites (no light through) and our matte whites (no shine), giving you brightness plus a reflective finish — a fit for light boxes, signage, and display panels. Shades vary slightly between white lots; request a chip to match.
