Buying Plexiglass/Acrylic

[killoverme]

I'm wondering where I can buy this material, other then rona and home depot.

I was just about to post the same question, as I'm looking to buy some to lay down on the floor of my photo studio to give it a bit of a reflection with a white paper background. Would love something a bit larger in size (4'x6') or bigger.

To both of you:

If you live in the GTA or surrounding area and Etobicoke isn't too far...

A.L. Plastics (http://alplastics.ca) is a plastic manufacturing company -- they fabricate custom displays, vacuum forming and CNC machining with all sorts of plastic. They also have a sister company named Acrylic Depot (http://www.acrylicdepot.com) which sells off-cuts, ready-made displays and sheets. Check out their websites for the address (both companies are located in one building)

Window/glass shops might have what you need or go to a rink and get one off the boards.

I work for a screen printing company and we usually buy our plastisized materials such as Acrylic and ABS Plastics ranging in sizes up to 48" x 96" standard sheet size and special custom sizes as well.

a) EM Plastics (GTA)
b) Plastic & Paper Sales (GTA)

Good luck to you and hope you can find what you need!

The best place I found for any small purchases of plastics or similar goods is a company called Warehouse Plastics Sales. They have two locations in and around toronto and cut to size (often at no charge) have all kinds of offcuts and tools and is geared towards the hobbyist or casual purchaser.

I use them all the time and they're the best.

I use to own a sign / graphics company and we bought all or our plastics from Laird Plastics.

they sell retail also, and will usually cut to size.
