  • Clean your Acrylite acrylic sheet using a mild soap or detergent solution mixed with lukewarm water. Gently wipe the surface with a clean, soft cloth, applying light pressure. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry by blotting with a damp cloth or chamois.
  • To remove dust, use a soft, damp cloth or chamois. Avoid dry or gritty cloths as they may cause surface scratches and generate static electricity.
  • Maintain the surface gloss and protect your Acrylite sheet by occasionally polishing it with a high-quality plastic cleaner and polish. Apply a thin, even coat using a soft, clean cloth, then lightly polish with cotton flannel. Finally, wipe with a damp cloth to eliminate any electrostatic charges that may attract dust particles.

Frequently Asked Questions About Acrylite Covers

    • Can I add lighting and ceiling fans to my Acrylite cover?

      Yes. For lighting, you can add café-style string lights, but we do not recommend recessed lighting for Acrylite covers. Ensure installation is done by a qualified electrician following local codes, use outdoor-rated fixtures and wiring, and securely mount fans to prevent accidents. Regular maintenance is essential for safe operation.

    • What are the options for heating or cooling an Acrylite cover for year-round use?

      Options for heating or cooling your Acrylite cover for year-round use include installing portable heaters, outdoor fireplaces, or fire pits for warmth during cooler months, and misting systems for cooling during hotter months.

    • What is the warranty coverage for my Acrylite cover?

      All Acrylite products come with a 10 year warranty for light transmission, rigidity, strength, and hail resistance. All clear Acrylite panels have a 30 year warranty against yellowing.

    • How do I clean and maintain my Acrylite cover?
