Lighter than glass, safer than glass and easier to post, which is why most collectors start here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcrylic and glass are not interchangeable and it is worth knowing which you want. Acrylic is about half the weight, will not shatter, and can be posted, which matters if the object is not in the same building as you. It also scratches, holds a static charge that attracts dust, and yellows very slowly in strong daylight unless it is the UV filtering grade. Glass does none of those things and weighs twice as much. For anything that gets handled often, take acrylic. For anything that sits still for twenty years, take glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 500mm wide by 300mm deep by 400mm high externally\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay surface: internal area 494mm by 294mm by 397mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: 3mm cast acrylic, corners bonded and polished, five sided with an open base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: clear as standard, UV filtering as an option\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad rating: not applicable, this is a cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLevelling: sits on your own surface or on one of our bases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecurity: not applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivery: one carton, with a protective film on both faces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 3.6 kilograms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast acrylic, not extruded, which is what stops the corners crazing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorners bonded rather than screwed, so there is no visible fixing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtective film on both faces, peel it after it is in position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti static cloth supplied, because acrylic attracts dust and a dry duster makes it worse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA matching sprayed base is available in the same footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe acrylic cover with the film on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn anti static microfibre cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA small bottle of acrylic safe cleaner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA care note explaining what not to clean it with, which is most things\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSetting it up\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eArrives assembled and blanket wrapped. Stand it where you want it, level it on the feet, and take the wrapping back to the van, which the delivery crew will do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifying it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize the case to the object plus the space around it rather than to the object. A rule that works well is a clear 100mm at the sides and 150mm above for anything under half a metre, and more for anything a visitor will walk around. Think about the door before you buy: a hinged door needs swing space and a lift off top needs two people and somewhere to put a large piece of glass. If the case will hold anything light sensitive, take the UV filtering glass, and keep the light level at 50 lux for works on paper and textiles and 150 lux for oil, wood and most other things.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plinth Studio","offers":[{"title":"Clear cast acrylic","offer_id":58785491648844,"sku":"PLS-ACR-007-AC","price":154.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"UV filtering cast acrylic","offer_id":58785491681612,"sku":"PLS-ACR-007-AU","price":189.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1091\/8300\/9100\/files\/Acrylic_Display_Cover_500mm_by_300mm_by_400mm_High.jpg?v=1789057374","url":"https:\/\/plinthstudiostore.com\/products\/acrylic-display-cover-500mm-by-300mm-by-400mm-high","provider":"Plinth Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
