Acrylic infill panels
Clear or tinted panels for wind and rain while keeping light.
Acrylic infill panels add year‑round usability by blocking wind and rain while preserving views. Clear or softly tinted sheets slot into slim aluminium channels with gasket isolation so they stay quiet and allow for thermal movement.
At a glance

How it works
Impact‑resistant acrylic is cut to size and captured in sealed aluminium frames. Discreet mullions control deflection and optional vent trims keep air moving where needed while maintaining shelter.
Why it's good
- Delivers shoulder‑season comfort without full glazing
- Keeps light transmission high while taming wind and rain
- Cleaning is simple and the result feels built‑in to the pergola
