Glazing plastics have always been a major part of the range from DIY PLASTICS (UK) who are the UK's leading retail supplier of plastic sheeting and associated DIY and home improvement products. We supply and deliver all over the UK, to all parts of England, Wales, Scotland (including the Scottish Isles) and Northern Ireland. Established in 1973, the business has built up a wide range of quality plastic products to suit the trade user, the experienced DIY enthusiast and the ordinary householder alike. Here is a summary of our plastics for glazing - please follow the links or use our Product Selector on the left or Search Facility above for more details of each product.

OUTDOOR GLAZING PLASTICS are ideal for windows, sheds, greenhouses, outbuildings, cloches, cold frames etc. etc. The comprehensive DIY Plastics range includes Clear Acrylic - similar to Perspex or Plexiglas - available either as Clear Cast Acrylic (very high optical clarity & rigidity) or Clear Extruded Acrylic (more economical & highly suitable for horticultural glazing). Clear Rigid PVC is Class 1 fire rated and a good substitute for Georgian wired glass in conservatory and lean-to roofing applications.

GARDEN GLAZING PLASTICS include Clear SAN (high clarity, very keenly priced but still with a 5 year guarantee), Clear 4.5mm Twinwall Polycarbonate (a lightweight "fluted" sheeting similar to that used on conservatory roofs) and Corriboard an even cheaper translucent fluted material - you can even cut this one with scissors! Clear Semi-Rigid PVC is thinner flexible economy plastic sheeting supplied "off the roll".

SECURITY GLAZING PLASTICS have always been a major part of the DIY Plastics business. Our recommendation here will always be Clear Polycarbonate - 800 times stronger than glass and as used in riot shields, machine guards etc. We have designed a special Secure Strip to fix polycarbonate on to vulnerable doors & windows to prevent break-ins.

INDOOR GLAZING PLASTICS include Clear Polystyrene, the original plastic glass and an excellent and well-priced utility clear rigid plastic sheet, and Clear Acrylic, either cast or extruded (see above), for even better clarity and longer life.DOUBLE GLAZING is one of the best applications for indoor plastic sheets in the home. Plastic secondary glazing will reduce condensation, cut down draughts and save £££s on heating bills - and it comes at price you can afford!. We supply a variety of fitting systems for secondary glazing including Newdawn Sliding, Clip 'n Stick, Magnetic and Easifix with edging strip & clips. Have a look at our product information page on Plastics for Double Glazing & Insulation for full details.

Glazing plastics are a major part of the overall DIY Plastics range. We understand that there are a number of different requirements that it is important for glazing products to meet, such as appearance, ease of installation, safety and security, and have tailored our range accordingly.

Coming in various thicknesses and with some able to be cut to exact size, all of our glazing plastics are easy to install. Indeed, none are more so than our popular plastic secondary glazing sheets, for which we supply various fitting systems such as the Newdawn Sliding, Clip ‘n’ Stick, Easifix (with nylon turn-clips) and Magnetic systems.

Safety and security are two of our biggest priorities at DIY Plastics when it comes to our glazing plastics. For safe handling by the user and as a secure defence against intruders, all of our glazing plastics have impact strength greater than that glass (which easily shatters into dangerous pieces), from our clear polystyrene glazing which is three times stronger than annealed glass to our clear polycarbonate security glazing the impact strength of which is over 200 times higher! This polycarbonate glazing, used for police riot shields, is also available in an obscured patterned variety to ensure unwanted persons cannot even see through to the interior much less break in!

In addition to all of these advantages, DIY Plastic’s range of glazing plastics also looks great. All of our glazing products have excellent light transmission ratings, with our Clear Cast Acrylic coming in at the top of the range with the exceptional optical clarity of a 96% rating. Even our security glazing can be painted to any colour to fit your interior design scheme.
