Somewhere to buy and have cut a sheet of perspex
« on: August 28, 2016, 17:19:08 PM »
Can anyone tell me please if there is a shop or like a merchants place that sells perspex and cuts it...weve decided to put a sheet of perspex on our balcony table not glass but will need for it to be cut to a circular shape as our table is round, or if anyone has any suggestions for something similar to use...
Thanks as always   :)

You may find perspex scratches too easily for a table top.

Also, won't it will become "clouded" & brittle in the sun

Thanks for replies...with perspex I would be able to bring in when i leave without the fear of dropping it if it were glass, i cant fit the table through the door so has to stay out...
Whilst being in Finas bank today for a stupid amount of time i noticed they had lovely thick perspex for the little shelves in there, that would be ideal and is exactly what i want, its finding it out here thats proving a wee bit tricky...

I would think somewhere that makes shop signs may be able to help,there is one opposite the older Kipa store.who I know make smallish engraved perspex signs.
 If not why not ask in Homeprof they may just know some one/somewhere.
 When our glass coffee table top broke I used a piece of thin ply and then fitted ceramic tiles onto it.

  Or you could tile over the glass, mosaics perhaps, personalised design/pattern.          :)

What's annoying is while looking at your posts, all the adverts know what I'm viewing and flash up saying plastic glass cut to size etc etc. ! Here in UK, I cover the round glass on my outside table with layers of cling film and then cover the whole table with custom made protector/cover.

Thanks very much all...ha that is typical Lotty re the ads for glass cutting coming up!
Well we went to the shop opposite Kipa on Saturday all seemed very promising not much English was spoken but we got by, we saw a sheet of plastic that woukd have been ideal but on asking the price he wanted 150tl the same as we have been quoted for tempared glass!
He has a very big laser cutter in his shop for designs and letters (prob something to do with it being a sgn making shop!) handy to know if anyone needs a sign making that says Kopek beware or similar
