PRODUCT DETAILS
RV Window Acrylic Sheet
RV Window Acrylic Sheet is a premium-grade poly(methyl methacrylate) material specifically engineered for recreational vehicle applications. This specialized acrylic sheet combines exceptional optical clarity with superior impact resistance, making it the ideal replacement for traditional glass in RV windows. The material’s lightweight properties (50% lighter than glass) reduce vehicle weight while improving fuel efficiency and handling. With excellent weatherability and UV resistance, it maintains optical performance and color stability even after prolonged exposure to harsh environmental conditions, ensuring long-term durability for mobile living spaces.
