Lightweight. Impact-Resistant. Versatile for Commercial Use.
Plexiglass, also known as acrylic sheet or acrylic glass, is a strong, clear alternative to traditional glass offering high optical clarity, excellent impact resistance, and a fraction of the weight. It’s an ideal solution for commercial spaces requiring durable, easy-to-install panels that balance visibility and safety. At Centennial Glass, we supply and cut premium-grade plexiglass for a wide range of indoor and outdoor commercial applications across Ottawa.
Need durable, shatter-resistant panels without the weight of glass?
Flexible and Functional in High-Use Spaces
Plexiglass is widely used where traditional glass may be too heavy, breakable, or costly to maintain. Ideal for:
- Commercial sneeze guards and barrier shields
- Display cases, signage, and protective covers
- Washroom partitions and privacy panels
- Outdoor enclosures and greenhouse glazing
- Institutional and educational facility upgrades
Available in clear, frosted, and tinted options, plexiglass offers the appearance of glass with greater durability and ease of handling.
Key Benefits
