Lexan and Plexiglass Glass Repair
Expertise Lexan and Plexiglass repair. Expertise Auto Glass repair also does plexiglass and lexan window glass applications and repair. Sheet grade polycarbonate (Lexan) and acrylic sheet (Plexiglass) are two of the most frequently used see-through plastics. Each of the two have benefits and drawbacks. Plexiglass is shinier and Lexan is stronger. Plexiglass is less expensive but easier to crack. Lexan is more impact resistant but easier to scratch. They are both stronger and lighter than untempered glass; Plexiglass is 4x to 8x stronger than glass, while Lexan is about 200x stronger. The right product for your application will depend on the application itself. Call today for a quote!
