smidey Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 as far as i know (i deal with architects plans every day & think i have seen every crazy idea imaginable) the only substitute for glass is perspex which i think is aka "plexiglass" which if i remember rightly is a brand of perspex. any way, this is readily available from most glaziers in alot of differet colours & clear. it is realy expensive & prone to scratching alot more than glass (ever seen the old scratched boat windows that can't be seen through?), thats the same stuff. I would go with glass personally but up to your budget realy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichlid7 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 hard to say what thickness without knowing what size the glass needs to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikan Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hey Mince, there is an African Aid type shop down here that sends clothes etc over to help African communities, it's a huge place and anything you buy there the majority of funds goes to Africa of which is fantastic! (my fav store around actually, I haunt the place)... Well he often has nice clean sheets of glass, and I am sure I spotted some 8-10mm glass in there the other day, along with other pieces... this lot was a nice size... and he said if interested in glass then make an offer, that's after I enquired about it. Just thought I would let you know, you can get some great stuff there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
