NomadicArk ACG13 Glass-Acrylic Hybrid Awning Windows
NomadicArk's premium camper van window: a privacy-tinted tempered glass outer pane over an acrylic inner pane with argon gas between them, in the same gas-strut awning body as the pure-acrylic ACR line.
Tec Vanlife Acrylic Camper Van Awning Window
A double-pane acrylic awning window from Tec Vanlife, sold through Nomadic Supply Company at the same price as Tec Vanlife's own site. Undercuts NomadicArk's smallest comparable size while covering more glass area.
ACRYLITE AR2 (Optical Mar-Resistant) Acrylic for Boat Windows
Distributors sell hard-coated ACRYLITE AR2 as marine glazing at two to four times the price of plain sheet. The maker's own data sheet says it is an indoor product with outdoor life typically limited to three years, it cannot be heat-formed or flame-polished, there is no warranty, and Polyvantis's boat-window advice is to use cast sheet instead. Excellent behind a store counter; the wrong sheet for a hatch.
Lewmar and Bomar Acrylic Portlights and Hatch Lenses
The two portlight and hatch brands on most production sailboats and cruisers, reviewed as a glazing product. Lewmar (Havant, England, owned by Lippert since 2019) publishes lens thickness, CE area ratings, and a code-based spares program; Bomar (Pompanette, Charlestown, New Hampshire) is a US foundry-to-finish builder whose lens material varies by series. Both craze in the sun eventually; the difference is how easy the fix is.
UPD Plastics Acrylic Boat Windshields
The Davie, Florida shop that holds the molds for most production boat windshields, fabricating since 1975. Marine-grade acrylic in 3/16, 1/4, or 3/8 inch and ten tints, priced by pattern from about $113 for a pontoon shield to $726 for a 32-foot console, with a drill bit and grommets in the box. The product earns consistent praise for fit; the wait, the fine print, and the customer service do not.
ACRYLITE Soundstop Transparent Noise Barrier Panels
The transparent acrylic highway noise wall: 15 to 25 mm sheet at STC 32 to 36, a 30-year no-yellowing guarantee, and a cast version with embedded polyamide threads that holds together when it breaks, so it can go on bridges without a catch net. It is the most-used clear barrier in the United States, MASH TL-4 crash tested, and priced at roughly twice an opaque concrete wall. The weak point in the field was never the acrylic; it was the gaskets.
Plaskolite OPTIX G BR Bullet-Resistant Acrylic Sheet
Monolithic cell-cast acrylic at 1¼ inches for UL 752 Level 1 (three 9 mm rounds) and 1⅜ inches for Level 2 (.357 Magnum), with 92 percent light transmission and an abrasion-resistant coating option. It is what most teller lines, pharmacy counters, and gas-station windows are glazed with, at roughly a quarter the price of a UL-listed polycarbonate laminate and half the weight of ballistic glass. It stops the round by being hard, not by flexing, so it stays indoors and stays away from forced-entry jobs.
VELUX FXG Acrylic Double Dome Skylight
The acrylic dome skylight you can order off the shelf: two thermoformed acrylic domes in a thermally broken aluminum curb frame, with a ten-year no-leak warranty and a clear/clear U-factor of about 0.56. It gives a flat roof the most daylight per dollar of any glazing, but clear acrylic runs hot, sits in fire class CC2, and costs four to ten times a polycarbonate dome the same size.
ACRYLITE 16 mm Multi-Skin Greenhouse Panels (Resist and Alltop)
The twin-wall acrylic that commercial growers glaze with: 86 percent light in the standard Resist sheet, 91 percent in the wide-rib Alltop, R-2.04 insulation, a NO DRIP coating, and a non-prorated 30-year non-yellowing warranty. Twice the price of polycarbonate and worth it if you are keeping the greenhouse.
ACRYLITE Corrugated Greenhouse Panels (High Impact Wave)
Single-skin corrugated acrylic, formerly sold as DEGLAS: 90 percent light transmission, 0.8 lb per square foot, a 30-year non-yellowing warranty, and a ten-year hail warranty. No insulation, so it is a roof for unheated houses and mild climates, and the cheapest rigid acrylic that will still be clear in twenty years.
Clear-For-Life Acrylic Aquariums
Cell-cast acrylic tanks built in Southern California since 1986, from a $760 55-gallon rectangle to 500-gallon showpieces, with a lifetime warranty against leaks. Scratches like all acrylic, ships in three to five weeks, and the reviews that exist are almost all five stars.
Reynolds Polymer R-Cast Acrylic Pool Windows and Aquarium Panels
The Grand Junction, Colorado fabricator behind the London Sky Pool, the Seattle Aquarium window, and the world's largest single acrylic panel. Cell-cast R-Cast acrylic, in-house engineering, and a dealer network for residential pool walls. The benchmark, at benchmark prices.
SeaClear Acrylic Aquarium Combos
The cast-acrylic tank you can buy off a pet-store shelf: 20, 29, and 50-gallon combos with a fitted hood and light, a lifetime leak warranty from CASCO Group, and thirty-plus years of owners who dropped them and kept using them. Small top openings and a weak stock light are the trade-offs.
Tern Overland Arctic Tern Windows
DOT-certified double-pane acrylic awning windows in Lucite Perspex, with blind and screen built in, four wall-thickness rings, and US parts support. The North American benchmark for van and truck-camper glazing.
Climate Seal Window Inserts
Magnetic interior storm windows with a bellows-edged acrylic panel that snaps to a steel subframe, in Thermal, Acoustic, Preservation, and Pro series. The strongest acoustic spec in the category, thirty years of institutional installs, and thin installation guidance for DIYers.
Indow Window Inserts
Laser-measured acrylic panels edged in silicone compression tubing that press into the frame with no hardware. Five grades, a lifetime warranty on the acrylic, 1,500-plus reviews averaging 4.5 stars, and a price to match.
NomadicArk Double-Pane Acrylic Awning Windows
European-style double-pane acrylic awning windows for camper vans and small RVs, with integrated blind and screen, gas-strut opening, and a four-point lock. The affordable route to the Dometic look.
Boat Outfitters Marine Acrylic and Custom Parts
A Florida marine fabricator with 40 years of supplying boat builders, now selling cut-to-size acrylic in clear, tints, black, and gelcoat-matched whites direct to owners, with free shipping over $150 and same-day dispatch on stock parts.
Acme Plastics Cut-to-Size Acrylic Sheets
A New Jersey plastics distributor in business since 1943 whose website prices a cut-to-size pane the moment you type the dimensions. Good prices, free freight on qualifying orders, and a thin online review record.
TAP Plastics Cut-to-Size Acrylic
Fourteen West Coast stores where a cut-to-size acrylic order takes minutes at the counter, backed by named-brand cast and extruded sheet and staff who know the material. Not the cheapest, but the fastest and the most helpful.
OPTIX by Plaskolite Acrylic Sheets
The extruded acrylic on the rack at Home Depot, made by North America's largest sheet producer. 92 percent light transmission, a ten-year non-yellowing warranty, and 3,800 retail reviews averaging 4.2 stars.
Window Savers Magnetic Interior Storm Window Kit
A DIY kit of magnet strip, steel strip, and adhesive that turns hardware-store acrylic into snap-on interior storm windows. Roughly seven windows per kit, in production since 1994.
Hy-Lite Acrylic Block Windows
The original pre-framed acrylic block window, sold at every big-box store. Glass-block looks at 70 percent less weight, with real privacy and a patchy warranty record.
