Can You Handle a Big Job? Our Capacity for Large Acrylic Projects

Procurement teams ask a fair question before awarding a large package: can this workshop actually deliver it? Not can they cut acrylic, but can they hold a programme, absorb a change, and install across three sites in one week. Here is a straight answer about capacity, with the limits included, so you can judge whether we fit your project before you spend time on a tender.

Can You Handle a Big Job? Our Capacity for Large Acrylic Projects — acrylic fabrication by RS Acrylics in Dubai

The workshop

We fabricate in Al Quoz Industrial Area 3, Dubai, with laser cutting, CNC routing, thermoforming and bending, diamond edge polishing, UV printing and bonding under one roof. Nothing core is sent out, which is the reason our lead times hold: when a job needs re-cutting at nine at night, the machine is ours. Visit before you award. If a supplier will not show you the machines, they are probably brokering your job to someone else.

Thickness, size and process range

We work from 2mm up to 50mm sheet. Laser for clean flame-polished edges on thinner material, CNC for thick sheet, pockets and 3D profiles, thermoforming for curves and covers, bonding for assemblies and oversized panels. Diamond polishing for anything where the edge is the finish. That spread matters on a large project, because one package usually needs four of those processes and you do not want them split across four vendors.

Volume: what a week looks like

A run of a few hundred identical display units is a normal week. Batches of 100 to 250 are how we plan a thousand-unit order, with the first batch checked piece by piece against a signed-off sample. For project work, a full mall store package is three to four weeks after drawing approval. Several sites in the same week is a scheduling question, not a capability one: tell us the dates at enquiry and we will say yes or tell you which site has to move.

Install crews, access and approvals

We install across all seven emirates, and most of our project installs are overnight because that is when malls and towers allow access. The crews work to landlord criteria and building access rules, which we ask for with the brief so the quote covers the real install. For regulated environments, tell us early: fire strategy constraints on partitions, clinic or bank requirements, and landlord material restrictions all change the specification rather than just the price.

The honest limits

We are a fabrication workshop, not a general contractor. We do not do civil works, MEP or joinery carcass. On very large lit installations we supply and test the acrylic, frame and LED modules, and your electrician brings power to it. Special imported colours can take three to six weeks, so a palette locked late is the one thing that genuinely delays a project. And we will tell you when a deadline is not achievable rather than taking the order and missing it.

How to test us before awarding

Three things cost you almost nothing and tell you everything. Ask for a sample in your actual colour and thickness. Ask for an edge-on bonded sample if the package has large panels. And visit the workshop. A supplier who clears all three is a supplier who can hold your programme. If you have a project in pricing now, send the drawings and the dates.

The verdict

Laser, CNC, forming, polishing, printing and bonding in one Al Quoz workshop, 2mm to 50mm, batches in the hundreds, overnight install across the emirates. The limits are civil and MEP work, and imported colours that need three to six weeks. Ask for samples and a workshop visit before you award.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

How large a project can your Dubai workshop take?

Full mall store packages, multi-site rollouts and runs in the hundreds to low thousands of units. A complete store package is three to four weeks after drawing approval. Give us the dates at enquiry and we will confirm or tell you what has to move.

What acrylic thickness can you fabricate?

2mm up to 50mm, with laser cutting, CNC routing, thermoforming, bonding and diamond edge polishing all in house, so a package needing several processes stays with one supplier.

Can we visit the workshop before awarding a package?

Yes, Al Quoz Industrial Area 3. We encourage it on large packages. Ask for a sample in your colour and thickness, and an edge-on bonded sample if the job has large panels.

What will you not do?

Civil works, MEP and joinery carcass. On large lit work we supply and test the acrylic, frame and LED module, and your electrician brings power. We also say no to a deadline we cannot hit rather than missing it.
