Is coloured acrylic see through?
The transparency of coloured acrylic really depends on whether you’re working with transparent or opaque sheets. Here’s what our customers typically experience:
-
Transparent Coloured Acrylic:
Many of our customers who buy transparent coloured acrylic use it for projects where they still want to allow light to pass through, but with a hint of colour. For example, some interior designers use it for window displays in shops, creating an eye-catching look that still lets customers see through the panels. However, the clarity of what’s visible behind the acrylic can vary based on the depth of colour chosen. -
Opaque Coloured Acrylic:
On the other hand, opaque coloured acrylic is completely solid. It’s perfect for situations where visibility needs to be blocked. Our wholesale buyers often purchase this type for signage, privacy partitions, or decorative walls. This product completely blocks visibility, which is ideal for things like office partitions or privacy screens.
