This company is my go-to for acrylic glazing and correx sheets. They provide a precise cut-to-size service, which is fantastic. The correx arrives flat, just as needed. Shipping is speedy, and the items are consistently packaged impeccably. The customer support is outstanding, with friendly and helpful staff.

Great customer service
Ordering was straight forward and all questions prior to order answered quickly. Only issue was delivery so maybe a little unfair to give 4 stars but it reflects the whole experience. That said they dealt with the issue quickly and kept me updated promptly as to what was happening.

Excellent product, great service
My sheet material came well packed and was delivered in good time. It was cut exactly and was a great substitute for glass where safety was important. Super easy to cut to shape and handle. I received good advice from the helpful agent too. In short a great company to do business with.
