Genuine Perspex® cast acrylic in the iconic gloss Black 962.
Perspex® Black 962 is the industry-standard deep gloss black cell cast acrylic, made in the UK. With a flawless high-gloss surface and outstanding depth of colour, it's the go-to choice for premium signage, retail displays, furniture, splashbacks and laser-cut lettering. Cell cast production gives superior surface quality, thermal stability and resistance to crazing during fabrication - it cuts, cements and thermoforms beautifully.
Black 962 is the black perspex sheet the UK sign trade works to: a consistent, repeatable gloss black across batches, so letters cut this year match panels made last year. The colour runs through the sheet, edges polish to a piano finish, and its near-infrared transmission makes it the standard choice for sensor windows, camera covers and remote-control panels where the electronics must see through what looks like solid black.

Genuine Perspex® cell cast acrylic sheets are manufactured in the UK to premium standards and offer a versatile, high-performance solution for a wide range of applications including signage, fabrication, lighting, retail displays, and architectural features. Compared to extruded alternatives, cast acrylic provides superior optical clarity, thermal stability, and resistance to crazing during fabrication.
One of the key benefits of our product is its tight thickness tolerance of ±0.1 mm, a significant improvement over the standard ±0.2 mm. This ensures more consistent results during machining and assembly, especially for precision applications such as CNC routing and edge-lit signage. Our cast acrylic also offers high light transmission (93%), excellent surface hardness, and good weather resistance.
