Using smoked plexiglas - Hey RandyT!
<< < (14/20) > >>
RandyT:
For anyone who is wondering:

My experience has shown there to be 4 varieties (more if you count thickness, but I'm not :) ).

Bronze or Gray, light or dark.  Those are the options.  If you have the luxury of selecting what you want, I recommend Gray, dark.

BTW, I haven't tested it with a transmission meter, but I'd be surprised if it were over 30%.

Thanks to Rampy for pointing this thread out in another related thread. I'm only posting in it to bring it back to the top. I think a lot of the new guys like myself who are just building a cab could benefit from reading through this one. I belive I'm sold on using tinted plexi in mine.

i assume grey tinted glass will give same result as smoked plexy - thats what i've just ordered for my cocktail cab.

Glass is better than plexi though. Otherwise people would use plexi in their windows.

Glass is better than plexi for a cocktail.  It doesn't scratch and it's just an overall better surface for a table.  Make sure it's tempered though.

For a cabinet, it doesn't really matter.  Good luck finding the tint talked about in this thread in glass though.  If you do, you can bet it will cost 5-10X more than the plexi (I work in the glass industry).

And some do use plexi in their "windows", it depends on the application.
