You're planning a lamp with soft, glare-free light. Or a new model-making project, or a craft session at the kitchen table. And you're missing the right base panel.

You order exactly the size you need and start straight away.

What changes for you

• You get soft, evenly diffused light for lamps and light objects. The opal material has 90% light transmission. It lets light through without being see-through.
• You don't need to cut or finish anything. The edges are laser-cut and clean. Choose your width from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.

Why this acrylic cutout makes a difference in everyday use

A privacy screen on the balcony, a diffuser in a homemade light or a base for model making: with a panel that fits exactly, your result looks neat and well planned from the start. The opal square lets light through and keeps prying eyes out. It gives your project a calm, even surface. And because you can reuse it again and again, it will serve you for many projects to come.

Material & finish

The square is made of branded cast acrylic (GS). It is very sturdy, keeps its shape and lasts a long time. Every cutout is laser-cut in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. This gives clean, even edges with no finishing needed. Once you peel off the protective film, you'll see a glossy surface. The opal material spreads light evenly.

How to use the square

• Making lamps: place the opal panel in front of the light source as a diffuser. It turns spot LED light into a soft, even glow.
• Crafts with children: each child decorates their own square with paint or stickers. The result is a small window picture that lets the light shine through.
• Model making: use the square as a base plate or facade element. The laser-cut edges fit precisely and flush.
• On the balcony or patio: as a small privacy screen, the panel lets daylight in but keeps curious eyes out. Thanks to its UV stability, it still looks good after years outdoors.
• In cafés or shops: backlit price tags, logo panels or counter decorations look calm and uniform on the opal surface. With sets of up to 100, you can quickly equip several stations.
• Making Christmas decorations: stick on motifs or paint the squares to make glowing window decorations. In front of fairy lights, they give off a warm, even shimmer.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the cutout outdoors? Yes. The cast acrylic is weatherproof, frost-resistant and UV-stable. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

How see-through is the opal material? The panel has 90% light transmission. Light passes through well, but shapes behind it stay blurred. This makes it ideal as a diffuser or privacy screen.

Are both sides the same length? Yes, it is a true square. If you choose a width of 10 cm, for example, the height is also 10 cm.

What does the surface look like? Once the protective film is removed, the surface is glossy; until then, the film protects it from scratches.

How are the squares cut? All cuts are made by laser. This gives clean, even edges with no finishing needed.

What counts is the moment your homemade lamp glows softly for the first time. Or the moment your project looks exactly as you imagined it. Just choose your size from 3 to 50 cm – singly or as a set.
