The difference between cheap and premium .
Finishing is often the difference between a project that looks cheap and one that looks premium. We run flame polishing, diamond polishing, buffing and surface finishing in-house, so every edge arrives glass-clear or satin-soft, exactly as the design calls for.
For acrylic balustrades, museum displays and high-end retail work, our diamond-edge polish is the finish architects and signmakers specify by name. Glass-clear polished edges up to 80 mm thick, produced by diamond-tipped tooling.
Flame polishing is the classic acrylic edge, fast, clean, cosmetic-grade for laser-cut and CNC-routed parts. Pairs well with line-bent work where the bend zone needs to stay glass-clear. Surface finishing covers everything from buffed to satin-matt to diamond-polished surfaces.
Diamond polishing removes about 0.5 mm from each side, so allow for it at cutting stage.

Where this is used .
Architectural balustrade infill, museum-grade display panels, gallery walls, premium retail and any job where the edge will be visible, that's where diamond-edge polishing earns its keep.
For high-volume cosmetic-grade work, POS displays, illuminated letter sets, hospitality fit-outs, flame polishing is fast and clean. We pair it with controlled film handling so finished parts arrive at site without scratches or marks.

From sketch to shop floor in 24 hours .
Polishing is usually a finishing step on a job we're already doing. If you're sending us cut parts to polish, send the finished part with notes on which edges/surfaces need work. Photos help.
Diamond polishing is slower than flame, allow extra time on architectural and museum work. Worth it for the finish.
Common questions about polishing .
Flame polishing is fast and clean, used for laser-cut and CNC-routed acrylic edges where a cosmetic glass-clear finish is needed. Diamond polishing uses a diamond-tipped tool to produce a near-optical glass-clear edge, suitable for architectural balustrades and museum-grade display work up to 80 mm thick.
Up to 80 mm thick, the standard for architectural balustrade infill and premium gallery display work. Anything thinner is also straightforward; thicker than 80 mm goes case-by-case.
Yes, by request, though the result is more typically a buffed satin or matte finish rather than the glass-clear edge you get on cast acrylic. For the very best polished edge, cast acrylic remains the best material choice.
