Clear Polystyrene Sheets

Clear polystyrene sheets are an economical alternative to other forms of glazing such as acrylic, polycarbonate or glass. As well as their low cost, these polystyrene sheets are incredibly tough and highly flexible. This makes them ideal for a variety of uses, whether as a splashback in a home kitchen or a COVID-secure office desk divider.

We’re proud to have partnered with Ariel Plastics to bring you their high-quality Clear Styrene Sheets. Ariel is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers, with decades of experience in engineering high-quality plastic roofing and glazing solutions. Their polystyrene sheets are available in lengths of up to 2.4m and either 2mm or 4mm thick.

Clear polystyrene sheets are favoured for their low cost, reliability, and ease of installation, particularly in comparison to glass. What’s more, polystyrene sheeting is just as transparent, making it indistinguishable from the real thing. This makes clear polystyrene sheets a fantastic budget solution for a whole host of interior uses, from unique wardrobe alternatives to room dividers.

Overview of Polystyrene Sheets

Polystyrene is one of the most widely used plastics in the world today. It’s used for a staggering range of purposes, popular largely thanks to its cost-effectiveness and durability.

Clear polystyrene sheets do have a few limitations, however. Unlike other forms of plastic protective sheets, they are only suitable for interior use. This is because polystyrene is not UV-resistant, meaning your sheets may become discoloured or warped when exposed to direct sunlight.

This is why we recommend our clear polystyrene sheets only be used inside. They’re ideal for use as a low-cost splashback in a kitchen, as well as temporary surface protection during decorating or DIY projects. If you’re looking for sheets to use outside, take a look at our acrylic sheets.

Uses for Clear Polystyrene Sheets

Splashbacks

Whether you need a splashback for your kitchen or bathroom, clear polystyrene sheets will offer ample protection against water and steam. Much like glass splashbacks, it provides a minimal appearance but is entirely shatter-proof. 

Room Dividers 

With a choice of lengths up to 2.4m and widths of up to 1.2m, polystyrene sheets are great room dividers. Unlike glass, they can be safely moved through a building and will not be shattered by a sudden impact. 

Wallpaper Protectors 

Protect wallpaper, artwork, and more from water and steam with a clear polystyrene sheet. Its weight makes it easy to install and cost-effectiveness makes it suitable for almost any budget.
