Acrylic is used because:

1. It is impact resistant. When compared to glass, acrylic is typically 17x more resistant to breakage. Acrylic can be built with tensile strengths as high as 8,000 lbs. per square inch. Acrylic is shattered resistant.
2. It is lighter than glass. It is easier to transport acrylic, and also acrylic is much less likely to crush something.
3. It is more transparent than glass when made thick. As glass is made thicker, it takes on a greenish hue. This is not the case for acrylic.
4. It will not succumb to inclement weather. There is a reason acrylic is used to build external car parts, and it is because rain, UV rays, and wind will not damage the material.
