Learn the Differences Between Plexiglas & Lexan from Sarnia Glass Ltd.

Plexiglas® & Lexan Glass Installations

Sarnia Glass Ltd. specializes in the installation of both Plexiglas® and Lexan glass. While these two types of glass are very similar in many of their properties, here are a few differences between the two so you can make a better-informed decision about which would better suit your application:

Plexiglas® tends to be a little more scratch-resistant than Lexan. If scratches do occur, they’re a little easier to get rid of due to Plexiglas’ ability to be polished.
Plexiglas® also tends to resist colour change when exposed to light, unlike Lexan glass.
Lexan glass can be bulletproof if it’s thick enough.
Lexan glass can be more resistant to chipping and impacts. Additionally, it’s easier to cut without being afraid of cracking.
Lexan glass is far more flexible than Plexiglas®.
