🪟 Real-World Applications of Cut-to-Size Plastics

From home improvements to industrial builds, here’s how customers across New Zealand are using our service:

🏠 1. Acrylic Sheets for Double Glazing Retrofitting

Acrylic panels are becoming a cost-effective alternative to full window replacement. In fact, acrylic sheeting is being used to retrofit single-glazed windows — helping to reduce condensation, increase insulation, and keep homes warmer.

Our cut-to-size acrylic panels can be precisely fitted to sit inside existing window frames using magnetic or framing systems — saving thousands on full upgrades.

“Acrylic retrofits offer up to 60% of the thermal insulation benefits of double glazing — at a fraction of the cost.” – Canterbury Build Magazine

 4. Boat Windows

One particularly popular application of our cut-to-size plastics is marine windows and hatches. Acrylic and polycarbonate are both excellent choices for boat windows due to their UV resistance, high impact strength, and clarity. Whether you're replacing fogged-up panels or fitting a new window into your yacht, we can precision-cut panels to your specifications.

Our cut-to-size panels are:

  • Resistant to salt spray and weathering
  • Safer and stronger than glass in marine environments
  • Easy to drill and mount using marine sealants

"For boat owners, custom acrylic or polycarbonate windows offer clarity, toughness, and peace of mind — whether you're in the harbour or out on the open water." – Frameless Frames Marine Projects Team
