TruVue Conservation Grade Acrylics
Architectural Plastics is the largest distributor of TruVue Optium Museum Acrylics and Conservation Clear acrylics in the San Francisco Bay Area. We also ship these materials, whether as full pallets, loose sheets, cut-to-size panels or glued display cases, all over the world.
Tru Vue Optium Museum acrylic is the pinnacle of conservation grade materials, designed to meet the demanding optical requirements of the custom framing and museum industries. Its main distinguishing characteristic is its amazing anti-glare property which makes it appear almost completely invisible. Optium is a “preservation” grade material, suitable for use to protect against vandalism, UV damage and moisture, if the casing is properly designed and built.
Tru Vue Conservation Clear acrylic is a UV filtering acrylic that is crystal clear and strikes the perfect balance between color neutrality and protection.

We excel in edge seaming, a process of gluing the edges of acrylic sheets together to create larger panels when standard sizes aren't sufficient for your project. Our expert techniques ensure clear, inconspicuous seams, delivering a high-end finish to immensely large panels or assemblies.
