FAQ
What is the best plastic sheet for outdoor signs?
Corriboard and Aluminium Composite sheets like TopBond™ are ideal for outdoor signage due to their weather resistance and durability.
Can I buy cut-to-size plastic sheets in Ireland?
Yes, Top Plastics offers custom cutting services for most materials including Acrylic, Foam PVC, TopBond and HDPE.
Where can I buy plastic sheets for printing or vinyl application?
Top Plastics supplies a range of print-grade materials including Foam PVC and Corriboard that work perfectly with vinyl and direct printing.
What is HDPE?
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) is a tough, lightweight plastic used in construction, signage, playgrounds, and industrial applications. Naturally, it has excellent impact and chemical resistance, but it is not UV-stable by default. However, Top Plastics can supply UV-stabilised HDPE sheets upon request, making them suitable for long-term outdoor use.
Are there eco-friendly plastic sheet options?
We offer recyclable plastics like PP, HDPE, and reprocessed sheet options, ideal for sustainability-conscious projects.
How fast is delivery for plastic sheets in Ireland?
We offer next-day delivery across much of Ireland, and same-day service is available in select areas.
What is Hygienic Wall cladding?
Hygienic wall cladding refers to smooth, easy-to-clean panels—often made from PVC — that are used to protect walls in food prep areas, commercial kitchens, healthcare settings, and cleanrooms. These panels are resistant to moisture, bacteria, and staining, helping maintain hygiene standards. At Top Plastics, we supply Hygienic wall cladding and accessories ideal for both commercial and industrial environments.
What’s the difference between Foam PVC and Corriboard?
Foam PVC (also called Foamex) is a dense, semi-rigid sheet ideal for long-term signs; Corriboard is lightweight, fluted plastic for temporary signage.
Can I collect my plastic order instead of delivery?
Yes, customers are welcome to collect orders directly from our Wicklow warehouse by prior arrangement.
What is Aluminium Composite Panel?
Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP) is a layered material made from two aluminium sheets bonded to a lightweight plastic core. It’s known for its rigidity, smooth surface, and resistance to weather, making it ideal for signage, cladding, and displays. At Top Plastics, our TopBond™ ACP offers the same professional finish and performance as leading brands, with excellent value, custom colour options, and cut-to-size available.
What is the best plastic for playgrounds, schools, and public outdoor spaces?
For long-lasting, safe, and visually engaging outdoor features, UV-stabilised HDPE is the leading material. It’s strong, weather-resistant, easy to clean, and ideal for high-traffic environments like schools, creches, parks, and public spaces. At Top Plastics, we offer ColourPlay—a multi-layered HDPE sheet designed for both fun and functionality. It’s perfect for engraved panels, furniture, and signage, with vibrant inner colours, high impact resistance, and excellent machinability. Architects and specifiers choose ColourPlay for its durability, safety certifications, and creative design potential.
