PLEXIGLAS^® block – grey PLEXIGLAS^® square, 3–50 cm

It's Saturday afternoon. The craft table is covered with glue, paint and ideas. What's missing is a base that really holds. A grey PLEXIGLAS^® square gives your project exactly that sturdy base. It is laser-cut and opaque. You choose the size to suit your project, from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. By the way, anyone searching online for a "PLEXIGLAS^® block" often means a sturdy sheet just like this grey square.

What changes for you

• You get the right size without any cutting. Simply choose the width from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Your craft piece or model-making project stands on solid ground. That's thanks to the sturdy sheet of cast acrylic, approx. 3 mm thick.
• You can display your piece outdoors too. The material is weatherproof, frost-resistant and UV-stable.
• You unpack a flawless surface. Every square comes with protective film and only shows its gloss once it's with you.

Why this PLEXIGLAS^® square makes a difference every day

Use it as a calm grey background for a display, as a base plate for model making or as a mat for crafting with children. A sheet that arrives in exactly the size you want saves you measuring, sawing and finishing. You can start straight away with the fun part: making things. And because grey stays in the background, the focus is on what you place on it.

Material & finish

Every square is made from cast acrylic (GS). It is cut from branded PLEXIGLAS^® on lasers in Bütic's own production in Pößneck. This gives clean, even edges with no finishing needed. Once you peel off the protective film, you'll see a glossy surface. It makes the grey of the square look clear and calm. The material is weatherproof and UV-stable, so it stays ready to use outdoors for the long term.

Good to know about acrylic glass

Acrylic is much lighter than mineral glass and doesn't break as easily. That's one reason it's so popular for craft projects with children and for outdoor decorations. The cast version (GS) is considered particularly dimensionally stable. With this square, that shows in how you can reuse it for the long term.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Just leave the protective film on the sheet until your project is finished. That keeps the glossy surface free of scratches. The material is weatherproof, frost-resistant and UV-stable. So you can use it again and again, even after a winter outdoors.
