Beschrijving

Are you looking for a pipe that is not only strong and durable, but also has a luxurious look? Then the Opal GS acrylic tube the right choice. This tube is made of cast acrylic (GS) – renowned for its clarity, precise dimensions and excellent resistance to sunlight and ageing. Perfect, therefore, when appearance and reliability are key.

Why choose Opal GS Acrylic Tubing?

Cast acrylic is a step above the standard extruded varieties (XT). The material is stress-free, which means it retains its appearance better, is more resistant to outdoor conditions and exudes that extra touch of luxury.

The benefits for you:

  • ✔ High-quality cast finish (GS)

  • ✔ Improved UV stability, making it suitable for outdoor use

  • ✔ High-gloss finish for a luxurious look

  • ✔ Fast delivery from stock

  • ✔ Option for customisation and modification

  • ✔ Personalised advice every time

What can you use Opal GS acrylic tubing for?

These tubes really come into their own in applications where lighting and design come together. Here are a few examples:

  • Stylish lighting (light fittings, LED solutions)

  • Interior design and furniture making

  • Creative displays & presentations

  • Decorative objects and art projects

  • Bubble tubes and columns for water or air

In short: wherever you want to create something special, this tube makes all the difference.

Easy to edit

Would you like to customise the tubes? No problem. Opal GS is easy to saw, mill, drill, polish and can even be bonded watertight using special acrylic adhesive. And the best part is: you can simply use standard tools for this, such as metal drill bits and saws.
