   Lexan. Much stronger than plexi, won't shatter, much more scratch resistant. You probably need to talk to a supplier, though, to find out what thickness is appropriate.

   Soxs will scratch plexi , polycarbonate will be much more scratch resistant. It is also a lot stiffer than plexi.

   I can't recomend a thickness ,but I have a 112"x12" x3/8" polycarb sheet that is almost impossable to bend.  Maybe 1/2 or 3/4 would do . This recomendation is worth every penny that you paid for it.

   My primeval analysis suggests that this room must be a bathroom since where else would only socks and barefeet be used?

   I would suggest 1" thick plate glass for best visibility.

   Plexiglass is a brand of acrylic.  Lexan is a brand of polycarbonate.  Definitely polycarbonate.  You can buy polycarbonate treated to be more scratch resistant.

   Of course, an option is to go with something patterned or frosted, or apply frosted contact paper to the underside like the kind used on bathroom windows when the neighbors are too close.

   What about glass block?

   Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell'em "Certainly, I can!"  Then get busy and find out how to do it.  T. Roosevelt

   I'd go find my local glass place, and ask them.
