Here's a tutorial where they bought the acrylic at a home improvement store:

you may find it is cheaper to buy them amazon sells them and so does Hobby Lobby and Michaels and they run them 50% off during sales
Lowes will cut acrylic for you and if asked i would assume they would steer you in the right direction concerning what you need.
Acrylic sheets ( near glass cutting area) at big box hardware are very expensive. I would suggest using a coupon at a craft store for purchasing acrylic sheets. Alternatively check out the existing floating frame prices while there. Hope this helps.
Michaels and Hobby Lobby both offer 40% or 50% coupons on frames or any other product in the store. Amazon also sells acrylic for framing and can give you ideas on how to use it.
