Plastic sheets/plexiglass/plastic glass sheets, where to buy?

[Nallis]

Previously, we have bought those transparent plastic sheets at OBS, but they no longer have a building section.

I have now found them at Biltema, they call them plastic glass, 120*80 cm for 289kr. I want that size or 240*80cm. They are usually 2-6 mm thick. People seem to call them different things, plexiglass sheets, plastic sheets, and plastic glass sheets, not sure if there are more names.

I think 289 kr for 120*80 cm is expensive since I would need 20 sheets. Does anyone know someone else who sells in this size? Claes Ohlsson seems to only have small ones. I don't know where to turn =/

Your local glassworks should have it.
I bought my Lexan pieces from a glass company.

Didn't think it sounded so expensive, I paid 200kr for two pieces of 40x10 in 8mm thickness.

Biltema is probably the cheapest.
Here you can choose other dimensions, but, at a different price: http://www.stocksundet.se/plexiglas-akrylplast/11

What is the quality of the discs that biltema sells? Here is a link to them.

Bump on the thread. Does anyone have experience with the plastic glass after a few years of outdoor use? Does it look okay or does it become shabby and worn?

Becomes scruffy as hell, scratched by the slightest thing and looks generally poor, often very expensive too. I think we charged more for plexi/makrolon than for laminated glass when I worked at the glass workshop (not entirely sure).

Thank you for the answer. I'm considering using it as a roof on a patio. We'll see what I do. Kanalplast is so ugly...

Why not go for lamellglas? It looks nice and is durable!
