depending on how much you want, you may want to try a waterjet company who may stock it. Theyd cut to size.
as i said though, it would really depend on how much you needed as it is quite costly.

Hi Red thank you I will ring them tomorrow, you are a star. x
you may not thank me when you hear the price, but if your reuirements are flexible they may be able to cut alongside other jobs and costs may reduce.

Yes I expect it will be expensive but I move around alot and forever breaking the glass on all my photo frames. x
large mirrors are perspex & cut to size. Yellow pages should have suppliers.
Perspex cuts very easily with a fine toothed saw. Then smooth the edge with glasspaper. This is definitely a DIY job to save yourself ����s

Redcrux they wanted �15 a piece for that perspex, I think it will be cheaper to buy new complete frames. x
This place may be able to help, they supply their frames with acrylic as standard. And they will make it to any size you want down to the exact mm.

I see it annie I will contact them, thanks.
cab, I have to say that i was expecting it to possibly be more than that. Waterjet isnt a cheap process to run.
Question Author
Hi red I didnt have any idea of the price to be honest but I need more than one piece.
Question Author
Hi just an update really.
In the end I was looking around Wilkinsons and they were selling photo frames in a sale for �2..50 each and they were the size I was looking for.
Two of them cost me less than a fiver with the reduction in vat as well.
I was delighted, I gave the frames away, so nothing was wasted.
