FAQ
1. What is Ariel made from?
Ariel is manufactured from high-grade extruded acrylic. This provides a lightweight and highly transparent sheet that closely mimics the appearance of glass, but with greater safety, resilience, and workability. It's ideal for any application where traditional glass would be too heavy, brittle, or difficult to handle. Additionally, the extruded acrylic formulation ensures consistent thickness and easier fabrication for a wide variety of custom uses.
2. Can it be cut to size?
Yes, Ariel sheets can be easily cut to your desired dimensions. You can use basic hand tools such as a fine-tooth saw, utility knife, or scoring blade. This makes it a convenient material for both professional installers and DIY users working on custom-fit projects or replacements. For best results, ensure stable support during cutting and wear protective gear to maintain clean, accurate edges.
3. Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Absolutely. Ariel acrylic sheets are UV-stable and weather-resistant, ensuring they won’t yellow, crack, or become brittle over time when exposed to sunlight or harsh environmental conditions. This makes them perfect for greenhouses, sheds, outdoor signage, and more. Even in fluctuating temperatures and wet conditions, Ariel maintains its clarity and performance year-round.
4. Is it safe for use around children?
Yes. Ariel’s acrylic sheets are shatter-resistant and far safer than traditional glass, making them an ideal solution for environments where safety is a concern—such as schools, nurseries, or homes with young children. They reduce the risk of injury while maintaining excellent visibility. The material's smooth edges and break-resistant nature make it an excellent alternative in areas requiring added peace of mind.
