You could but know it won't last long and it's not a good insulator. It could also warp.
Short answer, yes.
Yes, but glass is cheaper and better insulator. Pled cost 2x more than glass.
Plexiglass is a better insulator.
When using plexiglass with a glazing applications, it has a high resistance to smudges and scratches while still maintaining stunning clarity. Acrylic and plexiglass have high thermal values and insulate buildings better than glass, helping to improve the efficiency of your structure.
The cons of using plexiglass is over time the UV exposure will slightly yellow it, and any branches, blowing sand etc will also scratch/dull the finish of the plexiglass.
