If you’re simply looking to buy clear plastic sheets individually, our standard sizes might be just what you need. Perspex® sheets will melt at high temperatures or from exposure to direct flames.

A sneeze guard, a sneeze screen or a cough guard, is a screen manufactured from acrylic or clear material, like glass or Perspex®, and is designed to protect people, food items, and anything that needs to be protected from airborne illnesses including the Coronavirus. Once you have decided on your tools, you’ll need something to work on. Paper is an obvious choice – and any kind of paper can be used. The colour, texture and absorbency of the paper will impact upon how the ink behaves when applied and the overall finished results. If a paper is not sized or is soft sized (such as printmaking paper), drawing ink is likely to bleed or feather on it when applied. Harder sized watercolour papers may feel slightly scratchy when drawn on with a pen and more suited to crisp fine lines. These differences will play a part in the qualities of your finished work. Other surfaces you can work on are gesso panels – which is smooth with a degree of absorbency, or canvas – the weave of which gives a texture perfect for applying ink with a brush. Acrylic sheets have poor resistance to many chemicals, including acetone, benzene, and liquid chlorine.Lithography requires a very thin layer of ink, and so consequently lithographic ink is highly pigmented, with a relatively stiff oil binder that will not squeeze out of place when pressure is applied to make an impression. Relief ink has been known to be used in place of especially formulated lithographic ink in the past, but it’s key that a lot less ink is used than in relief printing to maintain control over the process. Because lithography works on the principle that oil and water do not mix, it is important to not use water-washable printmaking inks for lithography, as the water/gum arabic solution applied to the plate during the inking up process will dilute the ink you apply to the stone. This will make it possible for ink to adhere to the whole picture plane, when the process requires some degree of oil repelling so that oil only adheres on the image of your print.

Perspex® screens and any protective screen can be used outside. They are suitable for both indoors and outdoors, and they have excellent weather resistance, will not corrode, and can be left outside for a long period of time. Seasoned seafarers will be pleased to know, that polycarbonate boat windows offer maximum visibility, and are generally considered to be nearly unbreakable.Floor standing screens help enforce social distancing in places such as hairdressers, restaurants and gyms where the screens can be placed between sinks, tables and running machines. We have taken our traditional roller banner screens and added clear material rather that the traditional printed graphics. Perspex® can be attached to other materials using a variety of methods, including screws and adhesives. The specific method used would depend on the intended application and the materials being joined. Is Perspex® recyclable? This screen comes with a slot cutout, which can be further customised by adding a note to the additional instructions Acrylic drills well with a drill press, stepping up the diameter to the finished size (extra careful if drilling near an edge) Any melted swarf collar can be removed by hand using a rotary deburrer. Countersinking also works well in a drill press by using a multi-flute countersink. Scratches may easily be removed by polishing or by heating the surface of the material.

Made to measure acrylic is ideal for a wide variety of purposes around the home.

Using our popular cable displays system of cables and clamps, a sheet of clear perspex is suspended between staff and customers. The height can easily be adjusted so that there is a gap at the bottom ideal for nail bars etc. Our hanging perspex sneeze screen is a cost-effective solution, as they can be suspended from most types of ceiling.

Steps you can take include maintaining a safe social distance, wearing a mask over your mouth and nose when out in public, sanitising our hands regularly (or washing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, wherever possible) and using protective measures such as PPE and Perspex® screens in our offices, workplaces and public spaces. For these inks, getting started requires minimal equipment. First of all, you need to decide which tool you wish to use to apply your ink – a pen or brush, or a combination. A brush will allow you to vary the width of your mark depending on the pressure you apply, and it’s also easy to control the colour saturation. Pens on the other hand are best for a uniform application of colour – both in terms of colour saturation and the width of your line. There are a wide range of nibs for dip pens to allow you to make a variety of different marks. If you’re looking for suitable brushes, the best to use for inks are soft haired watercolour brushes, which are available with natural or synthetic hair. Hake brushes are traditional goat hair brushes that can be used for traditional sumi-e ink painting techniques.

Perspex® screens and any protective screen can be used outside. They are suitable for both indoors and outdoors, and they have excellent weather resistance, and will not corrode, and can be left outside for a long period of time. Due to a temporary interruption of supply from our manufacturer, we may substitute this item with an alternative brand of premium acrylic To keep interaction between customers and staff as normal as possible the majority of our screens are made from either acrylic or PET, which provides a secure physical barrier that doesn't break easily and provides exceptional clarity. Perspex (or Acrylic) is the more expensive solution but is more durable and can be fabricated so you don’t need a frame. A very effective solution is to use thinner and much cheaper PET clear plastic. PET provides the same protection at a fraction of the cost. We offer both options across our range of floor standing screens and desktop sneeze guards. Our screens can be cleaned with mild soap and a soft cloth, but for maximum longevity we recommend our VuPlex acrylic cleaner which is designed to clean and provide scratch resistance to the surface.
