Shading for a Greenhouse
If you need to create a shady corner in your greenhouse, using white perspex sheeting is one of the best and most affordable options. Not only will the sheets provide a shady area in the greenhouse, but they are much more resilient than glass, in fact five times stronger which means the sheets, once cut to size and in place will last a lifetime and then some.
Great in Kids Rooms
If you have children and would like to make them a drawing board that will last forever and which can be washed down when needed, then consider using a sheet of white perspex which you can place in a wooden or other type of frame. Kids will love the board and you reduce the chances of them drawing or writing on their bedroom walls!
A Brilliant Choice for Poster Framing
You may have a collection of very nice posters which would look great up on a wall but have been put away in a cupboard instead. White perspex sheeting is a brilliant choice of material to use for poster framing. The best part is you can get the perspex cut to the size where you buy it whether in a shop or online so all that’s left for you to do is frame the poster which would be securely fixed with a classy white perspex backing.

White Perspex Sheeting: The Perfect Splash-back Solution
If you are planning to revamp your garage or workshop and need to put in a sink, one of the best options to use as a splash-back is a sheet of white perspex.

The other real bonus of using it as a splash-back on a sink is that it’s incredibly easy to keep clean.
Work Table Protectors
If you need to place some sort of protection on a table top that you frequently work on then consider using a white perspex sheet which will not only do the job really well, but it’s extremely easy to keep clean and is durable to boot. This is especially true if you do a lot of cutting on the table in question.
A Choice of Grades Available
There are various grades to choose from which means no matter what DIY project you have planned, you’ll easily find one that meets your requirements whether it’s to be used in a sun room, to repair a sunbed or to build a reptile tank for the kids.
Do You Need Thermoformed Perspex?
These days you can have perspex sheets thermoformed and made into a specialist shape to suit your DIY project which is worth knowing about if you have a DIY project that’s a little more complex or ornate and which needs a specific shape to complete the task in a professional looking way.
Conclusion
