What is the best material for outdoor TV enclosure front panel?
To safeguard the TV effectively, outdoor TV Shield needs to be Unbreakable, and Extremely Strong, hard to bend or curve,Shock Proof & Shock Resistant. Especial in some special facilities, like Police, Children’s Court, Department of Corrections, Majority of NDIS patients, Gymnasiums and Golf Courses.

3 Main Transparent Front Panel Outdoor TV Enclosure Materials
Glass
When considering transparent front panels for outdoor television enclosures, glass might be an obvious choice due to its modern elegance, rigidity, scratch resistance, and clarity. However, using glass in front of a TV screen might not be ideal due to its shatter easily, higher cost, and the added weight that demands a stronger structure, ultimately increasing overall expenses.. It’s best suited for settings without direct exposure to storms or flying objects.
Acrylic sheet
Acrylic sheets, also known as plexiglass or perspex, are transparent and offer superior clarity and higher scratch resistance compared to polycarbonate sheets. Acrylic sheet is 30 times stronger in impact resistance than glass, and it’s very light weight, just half weight of glass, but it’s still breakable, means it’s not shatter proof. Weather resistance is not as good as polycarbonate sheet as well, most of the Acrylic sheet is not UV rated. Plexiglass tv enclosure works temperature is between -10°C to +55°C. It’s not heat resistant.
Polycarbonate sheet
Polycarbonate sheet, specifically ultra-clear Excelite polycarbonate sheeting, stands out as an ideal solution. This material, similar to that used in bulletproof glass and spacecraft windshields, has 250 times impact resistant compares to glass, is shatterproof, crack-resistant, and exceptionally durable, ensuring reliable protection for outdoor TVs even in adverse weather conditions.
Polycarbonate sheets have a weight equivalent to acrylic sheets, both being half the weight of traditional glass. Polycarbonate maintains its properties over a wide range of temperatures, from -20 to 140°C. Its glass transition temperature is around 147°C, and it softens gradually above this point and flows above about 155°C, so its heat resistance is much better than Acrylic sheet.
Polycarbonate enclosures are often used in industrial and outdoor settings because they can withstand high impact without breaking. Polycarbonate is also UV rate and can withstand extreme temperatures without warping or cracking.
Plexiglass outdoor tv enclosure is ligature resistant, which is popular used in hospitals, mental health facilities, correctional centers, care residences, educational institutions, and childcare centres. Anti-ligature measures are essential in settings aiming to prevent intentional or accidental self-harm among patients or individuals.

Anti-Glare Screen Protector
Acrylic and polycarbonate sheets, like glass, tend to reflect some light, causing a mirror-like effect that shows what’s in front of the screen. In daylight, this reflection might disrupt the clarity of the display, creating a visual overlap between the room and the displayed image.
Excelite Anti-reflective coating or Anti-glare coating upgrade to the standard screen protector to Anti-glare screen. Which can reduce the light reflection on the screen surface, Moreover, our Scratch-resistant coating on polycarbonate sheets enhances surface hardness, reducing both fingerprints and smudges.
Anti-glare film Comparison
An anti-reflective, anti-glare or anti-reflection (AR) coating is a type of chemical treatment applied to Acrylic sheet or polycarbonate sheet.
Anti-glare (AG) or anti-reflective (AR) coatings are specific coatings designed to decrease the amount of reflective light in your screens. These coatings can be applied to the back, front, or both sides of polycarbonate sheets to control the amount of light transmission and reflection. AG and AR coatings eliminate 50-80% reflections from the surfaces of your screen protectors. Without these reflections, more light can pass through, which can increase your vision.
Benefits of Anti-glare coating and Anti-reflective coating
- Allows more light to pass through the screen protector, improving visual clarity
- Prolong the life of your screen protectors with less smudges and scratches
- Reducing reflections, glare, and halos
- Scratch Resistance
