One of the best ways to protect your furniture from daily wear and tear is to cover it with a protective layer or coating. Items like tables, chairs, desks, benches (things that get touched or sat on every day) benefit the most, as all that handling wears away at their paint and finish. For items that regularly take a beating, you need something thick and durable. Min Plastics & Supply, Honolulu, HI's leading plastic supplier, recommends you use acrylic.

• What Is Acrylic? Acrylic sheets, also known as “Plexiglass,” are transparent sheets that can be custom fit for any purpose. At Min Plastics & Supply, they are available in many thicknesses to suit your unique requirements, and multiple colors and patterns if your furniture could use a little flair. They'll cut your acrylic sheets to size right on the premises with precision cutting techniques.

• Who Uses Acrylic? Acrylic is an industry standard, with countless businesses using it for all different purposes. Just to name a few, many restaurants use acrylic sheets to protect their dining tables and countertops, retail outlets use encasements made from acrylic to showcase and protect their products, and many buildings use acrylic sheets as windows. Acrylic sheets are useful for anything that needs both protection and visibility.

• What About Surfaces That Can’t Be Covered? For surfaces you can't easily cover with acrylic sheets, you can spread a layer of polycrylic sealer, which hardens to a scratch-resistant finish. If you use this method of protection, you will need to re-apply it once every few years.
