Q:
Hi, do you do the white perspex sheet in 400mm x 400mm ??
Asked by: Rebecca Rayner
A:
We can provide Perspex in 400 x 400mm. However as it would be cut down to size here there may be a margin of error of about 5mm. It might end up 400x395 or 400x405. Alternatively I can cut a square of 396x396mm from the original sheet which will be more accurate but not quite 400x400mm. It depends on what you need.

Q:
Hi there Is this the stuff I can drill holes in and fix to the wall behind the cooker as a 'splashback' type thing? sincerely Karla-ann
Asked by: karla-ann
A:
It is possible to work with the Perspex by both cutting and drilling it. However if you are going to cut or drill care should be taken to make sure the sheet is secured and not put under pressure when working with it as it is possible to crack the material. If you drill the corners in to some scrap wood then it should be fine. Do not hang the corners over the edge of a work top and drill them unsupported. The sheet is covered with protective film which should be left on whilst drilling.

Q:
is there a hole in the perspex like the picture? And how much does is cost?
Asked by: mr mcneil
A:
The picture is of a sample swatch piece of Perspex which is much smaller than the actual sheet. The product doesn't have a hole in it and has square corners. The price for every product is shown to the right of it in the green / blue table.
