When a project reaches the point of asking for a 100 mm cast acrylic aquarium panel quotation, the buyer has already done the hard thinking about water depth and span. The next step is making sure the quotation covers the engineering, not just a price per square metre – because a 100 mm panel is a heavy, precision part that must be cast, machined and delivered correctly.
What to include in your RFQ
- Water depth at the panel base – sets the governing load.
- Opening width and height – defines the span for thickness and machining.
- Frame and support detail – edge restraint changes the requirement.
- Any viewing or fitting openings – drilled holes and notches to be factory-machined.
How RP River People quotes the panel
On receiving the RFQ, RP River People confirms whether a 100 mm cast acrylic aquarium panel is the right thickness for your depth and span, then quotes the cast panel with machining, edges, packaging and the seam or frame detail. The quotation names the material and the engineering basis, so the buyer compares apples to apples. For the thickness logic behind 100 mm, see our guide on large acrylic aquarium viewing panels.
