I tried to hunt the website down with no luck but if you google it, their contact info should come up. We got the 3/4" thick plexi. I also should mention that it can get slick if it's really wet, and in snow, you're going down. We sanded with a 120 grit to get the opaque look, and maybe coarser paper would give it better traction. I'd make sure to test on a scrap. I hope you send pics when it's done! Hi Karen,
