Cast vs Extruded Acrylic
When choosing the type of material to use for your project, there can be many things to consider. Size, thickness, colour and finish can be seen as the most important aspects. But there is also the type of material to consider … Cast or Extruded.
At Perspex Panels, we offer both Cast and Extruded materials. The characteristics of these materials can affect the processes/techniques used. So these must be considered before purchasing any materials.
