I guess this is mostly aimed at those who live in East Anglia, particularly Norfolk but I'm sure lots of you can help anyway. I'm trying to work out the cost of building some vivs but I'm having trouble finding prices for glass. Where do other people get glass from and roughly what do you expect to pay.

All information welcome.

I get mine from a glaziers too, but shop around, prices vary hugely in my area and presumably elsewhere too. Ground and polished edges usually cost a small fortune and are unneccessary, you can make the edges safe yourself with a piece of emery cloth and a sanding block.

any glass merchants will normally cut glass for you. and it is damn cheap.

I thought it would be just as cheap, if not cheaper to just use clear Acrylic, Cheers guys, I'll have a phone around and price some glass.

i paid £17 for 2 6mm pieces glass with polished edges, 335mm x 328mm but was quoted in the £40s from other places so seems like i got a bargin.It was from a glass supplier only(dont fit the windows just make them)

Humm alright, thanks everybody. My father used to sell joinery trade to builders so he might know a guy who knows a guy.

Ive paid £20 for two pieces of 4mm toughened 340x480 and £25 for two in 6mm 340x480

But I'm MILES away from you but at least it gives you an idea.

one place did quote me £35 PER bit on the 4mm !!
