Clear PVC sheeting is a great substitute to glass if the application requires lightness, impact resistance, low cost, and ease of maintenance. For example, a greenhouse may be built from this material so that the supporting structure will have less weight to bear. It can perform almost as well as glass in letting sunlight in and providing visibility from the outside. The greenhouse will be easy to clean.
Advertising posters are often encased in a lighted box with a glass front. This is to prevent people from tearing the poster down and ensure its protection from the unpredictable weather. However, glass can shatter is bumped even accidentally in high traffic areas like walkways. It would be much better to use clear PVC instead as this has excellent resistance to breakage. It will also hold up well despite strong winds, pouring rain, and scorching heat.
