Custom Perspex & Polycarbonate Sheets Cut to Size
Our workshop offers precision cutting for Perspex (acrylic) and Polycarbonate sheets to match your exact measurements. We supply sheets in a range of thicknesses and finishes, providing a clean, accurate cut for every order. Whether you’re replacing a broken panel, building a display, covering a roof, or upgrading to a lightweight alternative to glass, we’ll guide you on the right material for your project.
Polycarbonate Sheets Cut to Size
Polycarbonate combines strength, clarity, and resilience. It’s up to 250 times stronger than glass, resistant to impact and temperature changes, and doesn’t yellow or degrade with sunlight. We mainly supply solid Polycarbonate sheets for window panels, machine guards, and safety screens, along with twin-wall and multi-wall options for greenhouses and roofing. It’s a superior, professional-grade material that offers the transparency of glass with the toughness of metal — ideal for demanding environments or long-term use. We can also cut polycarbonate as a safer alternative to picture frame glass.
Perspex (Acrylic) Sheets Cut to Size
Perspex is a lightweight, clear plastic often used as a glass substitute for interior projects. It offers excellent clarity and a smooth finish, making it ideal for display cases, picture frames, splashbacks, and protective barriers. While Perspex is cost-effective and versatile, it can gradually discolour or become brittle under prolonged UV exposure — something to keep in mind for outdoor use. For long-term or exterior projects, Polycarbonate is the more durable choice.
Perspex vs Polycarbonate – Which Should You Choose?
Perspex and Polycarbonate are both clear, lightweight alternatives to glass used for glazing, displays, and protective panels — but Polycarbonate offers longer-lasting performance. While Perspex delivers excellent clarity and is ideal for indoor uses like picture frames and signage, Polycarbonate provides the same visual transparency with far greater strength, impact resistance, and weather protection.
For projects exposed to sunlight, heat, or potential impact — such as greenhouses, roofing, or safety glazing — Polycarbonate is the superior all-round choice. It won’t yellow or crack over time, making it the preferred material for both residential and commercial use across Dublin and Wicklow.
Polycarbonate Roof Sheets Supplied & Installed
We supply and install durable polycarbonate roof sheets for pergolas, carports, canopies, and garden shelters throughout Dublin and Wicklow. Designed for maximum light transmission and strength, polycarbonate offers a long-lasting, weather-resistant alternative to glass. Each panel is professionally measured, cut, and securely fixed to ensure a watertight, clean finish that performs reliably in all conditions. Ideal for domestic and light commercial projects, our polycarbonate roofing provides lasting protection, low maintenance, and a bright, open appearance for any covered space.
A Safer Alternative to Glass
Polycarbonate is one of the safest modern alternatives to traditional glass. Its impact resistance and shatterproof design make it ideal for spaces where safety, durability, and light transmission matter most — from garden structures to schools and workshops.
Key Benefits of Polycarbonate:
✅ Shatter-Resistant Strength — Up to 200x stronger than glass, reducing breakage risk in busy or exposed areas.
✅ Lightweight & Easy to Handle — Safer to install, transport, and work with than traditional glass panels.
✅ UV-Protected — Maintains clarity and colour stability, even with constant sun exposure.
✅ Weatherproof & Durable — Performs reliably outdoors in all seasons without cracking or warping.
✅ Safer for Homes & Businesses — Ideal for schools, sheds, greenhouses, and covered walkways.
✅ Long-Term Clarity — Resists yellowing and surface wear, ensuring a clear, bright finish for years.

Frequently Asked Questions — Perspex & Polycarbonate Sheets
Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions about our Perspex and Polycarbonate supply service. Whether you’re ordering a single replacement panel, a protective barrier, or a full set of roof sheets, these FAQs explain everything from material differences and thickness options to local delivery, installation, and durability — helping you choose the right solution for your project across Dublin and Wicklow.
What’s the difference between Perspex and Polycarbonate?
Perspex and Polycarbonate are both clear plastic glazing materials, but they differ in performance and durability. Perspex (acrylic) is lightweight, crystal clear, and ideal for indoor or decorative use such as picture frames, signage, or display panels. Polycarbonate, on the other hand, is far stronger — up to 200 times more impact resistant than glass — and can withstand outdoor exposure without yellowing or cracking. It’s the preferred option for greenhouse glazing, protective barriers, machine guards, and roofing panels. At P Fahy Glazing Ltd, we supply both materials cut to size, and can advise which is best suited to your project based on clarity, strength, and budget.
Can you cut Perspex or Polycarbonate to my exact measurements?
Yes. Every order is precision-cut to your required dimensions using professional cutting tools in our Bray workshop. Whether you need a single small replacement panel or multiple sheets for a larger project, we ensure accurate sizing and smooth, clean edges. We can also prepare custom shapes, drill holes, or round corners on request. Simply send us your measurements or a photo of what you need, and we’ll provide a clear, no-obligation quote before production begins.
Do you supply Polycarbonate roof sheets or panels?
Absolutely. We supply and install polycarbonate roof sheets throughout Dublin and Wicklow for pergolas, lean-tos, greenhouses, and outdoor canopies. Polycarbonate is ideal for these applications due to its strength, UV resistance, and transparency — it lets in plenty of light while offering far greater impact resistance than glass. We stock standard clear and opal finishes and can cut panels to your exact specifications Our glaziers also provide professional installation for residential and light commercial roofing projects.
Is Polycarbonate a good alternative to glass?
Yes — Polycarbonate is one of the safest and most practical alternatives to glass, especially where strength, weight, or shatter resistance are priorities. It’s virtually unbreakable, lightweight, and easier to handle than traditional glazing, making it ideal for schools, workshops, outdoor shelters, and display units. Unlike Perspex, Polycarbonate won’t yellow or become brittle over time, even with constant sun exposure. While glass remains the most scratch-resistant option, Polycarbonate offers unmatched durability and long-term value in both residential and commercial environments.
What thickness of Perspex or Polycarbonate do I need?
The right thickness depends on how the material will be used. For picture frames or indoor protective covers, 2–3 mm Perspex is typically sufficient. For outdoor glazing, roof panels, or protective barriers, 4–6 mm Polycarbonate is generally recommended. Larger panels or structural installations may require 8 mm or more for rigidity and safety. Our team can guide you through the best option for your project — ensuring you get the right balance between strength, weight, and clarity.
Can I collect my order or do you offer delivery?
You can do either. Smaller orders can be collected directly from our Bray workshop, while we also offer local delivery throughout South Dublin and Wicklow. We regularly deliver to areas such as Dundrum, Dalkey, Blackrock, Greystones, and Wicklow Town. Each order is securely packaged to prevent scratches or damage in transit, and we provide flexible pickup and delivery arrangements to suit your schedule.
Can you install the Perspex or Polycarbonate for me?
Yes — we don’t just supply materials; our glaziers can also install Perspex or Polycarbonate panels professionally. This includes fitting greenhouse glazing, protective barriers, outdoor canopies, and replacement panels for sheds or porches. We ensure each installation is properly sealed, aligned, and secured for long-term performance. If you prefer to install it yourself, we can advise on safe handling, fixings, and care to ensure the best results.
What are the main uses for Perspex and Polycarbonate sheets?
Perspex and Polycarbonate sheets have an exceptionally wide range of uses. In homes, they’re often used for secondary glazing, picture frames, and DIY projects. In commercial settings, they serve as sneeze guards, protective screens, signage panels, or machine guards. Polycarbonate’s durability also makes it ideal for roofing, greenhouses, and outdoor enclosures. We regularly supply both materials to homeowners, builders, designers, and tradespeople throughout Dublin and Wicklow — providing reliable, cut-to-size solutions for almost any application.
