Default glass for viv

Where do people get the glass for building their own viv's. I have seen all the other bits needed?

It depends if you are wanting normal or toughened as to where to go for it.

Nope - SOME of them are Two quotes for a 36" viv un-toughened. £128, and £15 (the last one had groove-handles in) You just have to shop around.

yh just got to shop around, try google or yellow pages for someone close to you... deffinatly toughened tho! i jus picked up 2 paines at 700mmx950mm toughened and seem pretty fragile, would hate to think what normal glass would be like... also toughened glass edges dont need milling/polishing because they arnt sharp when cut, saves a few quid!

Nope, you're right I shouldn't have, just the reply I got from my first post really really narked me off.

I do apologise

Exactly, what i was trying to say, every glass shop has different prices!

As for Crownan i would say where i get my glass from, but i wont as your attitude stinks and there was no need for the swearing!

By the way i can get 4mm toughened glass for a 5 foot viv for £15!
So yes i do know what im talking about regarding glass!!!
