How To Measure and Cut-To-Size Policy [X]

Cut-To-Size Items are Non-Returnable!

As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under "Comments" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade. Please review our full return and shipping policy here.

Measure Twice, Cut Once

Since custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.

How to Use a Measuring Tape

Extend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you’ll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.

Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2" has a bigger mark than 1/4" which has a bigger mark than 1/8". The smallest mark follows at 1/16". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.

Features of a Measuring Tape: Sliding End Hook

The sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).

POLBE SH - Overview

Black polycarbonate is a lightweight, durable, and versatile thermoplastic. While it has high resistance to impacts, it has low scratch resistance - a hard coating is recommended for additional protection if scratches are a concern. Polycarbonate has similar characteristics to polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, ACRYLIC), but polycarbonate is overall stronger and can be used over a wider temperature range.

How to Clean Polycarbonate Sheet

General Cleaning
1. Rinse surface with warm water to loosen preexisting dust, dirt and grime.
2. Gently wash surface with a mild soap and a soft microfiber cloth or sponge.
3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Dry completely with a soft, dry cloth.

Removing Oil and Tar
1. Rinse with warm water to loosen preexisting dust, dirt and grime.
2. Gently rub surface with a 50/50 isopropyl alcohol and water mixture using a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
3. Immediately rinse material with water and dry using a soft, dry cloth.

Removing Heavy Markings (e.g. graffiti, paint, marker, inks, glazing components)
1. Rinse with warm water to loosen preexisting dust, dirt and grime.
2. Gently rub surface with Naphtha VM&P grade, isopropyl Alcohol, or butyl cellosolve, using a soft, non-abrasive cloth.

Removing Adhesive-Backed Labels
1. Stubborn adhesives can be removed using isopropyl alcohol, Naphtha VM&P grade or kerosene.

Removing Scratches
1. Deep scratches and gouges made by sharp objects such as keys, screwdrivers and knives cannot be repaired.
2. Fine scratches can be cosmetically hidden by using our Novus 2, followed by a polishing agent such as Novus 1.

Special Note: Always rinse edges of polycarbonate with generous amounts of warm water, as the edges of polycarbonate sheet are not protected with an abrasion and chemical resistance hard coating.
