How To Measure and Cut-To-Size Policy | Close it

Cut-To-Size Items are Non-Returnable!

As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under \"Comments\" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade. Please review our full return and shipping policy here.

Measure Twice, Cut Once

Since custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.

How to Use a Measuring Tape

Extend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you’ll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.

Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2\" has a bigger mark than 1/4\" which has a bigger mark than 1/8\". The smallest mark follows at 1/16\". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.

Features of a Measuring Tape: Sliding End Hook

The sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).

The Industry Standard for Clear, High-Impact Applications

This general-purpose (GP) clear polycarbonate sheet is our most popular polycarbonate solution, serving as the industry's go-to workhorse for strength, versatility, and value.

This GP polycarbonate delivers exceptional impact resistance at the lowest price point of any polycarbonate grade we stock, making it the ideal choice when you need durability without paying for added coatings or specialty features.

Why Choose This Specific Sheet?

This is the standard polycarbonate option. Unlike specialized grades with UV or scratch-resistant coatings, this sheet is designed for maximum value and broad usability. It is the correct choice if you need:

  • The Best Value Polycarbonate: The most cost-effective option when you need polycarbonate's core performance without added UV or scratch-resistant coatings.
  • Exceptional Strength: Impact resistance up to 250x stronger than glass and 30x stronger than acrylic.
  • Fabrication Friendly: High ductility allows for drilling, cutting, and cold-bending with significantly lower cracking risks compared to acrylic.
  • Ready for Assembly: We cut to your exact specifications with tight tolerances, ensuring your project is ready for assembly the moment it arrives.
  • Proven Versatility: Ideal for machine guards, safety glazing, and structural applications where impact resistance is critical.

Polycarbonate vs. Acrylic: Which Do You Need?

While both are clear plastics, they serve different roles.

  • Choose Polycarbonate (This Sheet) if durability is your #1 priority. It creates a "fail-safe" barrier that eliminates the risk of shattering.
  • Choose Acrylic if optical brilliance or scratch resistance is your priority, or if you need the absolute lowest cost.
