In the Clear with CYRO’s New Sheer Textures Acrylic Sheet

Designers can now test the optical rules of transparency with CYRO Industries’ new line of ACRYLITE® Sheer Textures acrylic sheet. Available in three distinctive patterns—Shards, Radial and Sand Drift—ACRYLITE Sheer Textures sheet reveals a patterned appearance through its smooth, translucent surface. This unique aesthetic quality creates special effects and draws attention to displays, signage and fixtures for effective point-of-purchase marketing and store design.

ACRYLITE Sheer Textures sheet utilizes ambient light to expose shimmering damask-like optical designs. Lightweight and easy to fabricate, the sheet’s distinctive surface also hides the appearance of scratches and fingerprints, enhancing service life for displays and fixtures in high traffic areas. The sheet exudes the same textured appearance on both sides, providing visual consistency when viewed from different angles. ACRYLITE Sheer Textures sheet can be cut, routed, polished, drilled and line-bent as easily as standard acrylic sheet and is available in 48” x 96” (1,220mm / 2,440 mm) dimensions with a standard 0.118” (3mm) thickness. CYRO also offers custom order sheet thickness and light tinting upon request.

ACRYLITE Sheer Textures acrylic sheet is the newest addition to CYRO’s Creative Box, a collection of dynamic acrylic creations for designers across a wide spectrum of industries. For more information or to receive a Creative Box of ACRYLITE product samples, please visit www.acrylite-magic.com and let your imagination run wild.
