Perspex for playhouse

Tom Joad · 2015-05-25 14:41:43

I am making a playhouse for the kids and looking to use perspex/ plastic glass for the windows - anyone know where I could source some? And can you get it cut to size or is it handy enough to cut yourself? Thanks

You will get it in the likes of Homebase or B&Q or most hardware suppliers will have it. DIY shops maybe not.
If they offer timber cutting they more than likely will cut the perspex to size.
It is easy to cut yourself with a grinder if you have one.

Just to note that it will end up with rough edges/splinters after cutting so you would need to give those edge a rub of a rasp or file especially with little hands going near it.

We get perspex cut to size for our machines in work.

Any glazing company should provide it cut to size.
