Material guide
Choosing Material and Thickness
Compare unfinished birch, clear or colored acrylic and acrylic mirror around the finish, use and production constraints.
Material follows the use
Begin with the finished environment.
Appearance is only one part of material choice. Edge detail, rigidity, light transmission, surface finish, assembly and handling also affect what is suitable.
- Where will the finished piece be used?
- Should the surface be paintable, transparent, colored or reflective?
- Will it hang, stand, layer, attach or remain loose?
- Which dimensions and small details must remain?
Quick comparison
Four material families
The instant website path is limited to 3 mm unfinished birch. Acrylic and other requirements are manually reviewed.
Clear acrylic
Transparent, clean-looking and useful where light or visibility matters.
Colored acrylic
Opaque or transparent color with a more uniform manufactured surface.
Acrylic mirror
Reflective decorative surface with specific face and adhesive considerations.
Not every design is suitable for every material. Small details, holes, stress points and finished use are reviewed together.
