Fibreglass for enclosure doors and display windows?Depends how fancy you want it to be, glass will look way better, but cost more.
Fibreglass is cheap and looks ok untill u scratch it, it’s flexible to an extent so no worry about breaking it I use fibreglass just coz I had a bunch laying around. No discolouration after 3years

How do you see through it?
More like a privacy screen you think Wally?Don"t apply the resin. It's more like a curtain.
It is definitely possible. Even if dust on acrylic isn't cleaned corretly it will scratch.would ackies or simlier size lizards scratch the hell out of acrylic?
I think I got confused and meant perspex not fibreglassFibreglass for enclosure doors and display windows?

Glass is definitely more expensiveI prefer glass but thats just my opinion.
I guess it depends on the enclosure build as much as anything. I have melamine enclosures. If I was building a full enclosure of glass it wouldn't work so well from a heat retention perspective. So in that case I might look at perspex.
I know some people use perspex for the doors but it never seems clear enough to me and gets scratched easily which will impact visibility in the long term.
I think glass would be the cheaper option too.
