Source for thin float glass

Post by Kopperwood »

Can anyone give me a source for thin float glass? I'm looking for something about half the thickness of regular 3/32 single strength. Just looking for a few sq ft for a prototype, then would need to buy 100 sq ft at a time.

I used to buy 1/16" from one of my Colorado wholesalers.

Sorry........ can't remember which one. It's been a very long time since I used it.

Look for a picture frame supplier. They sell it in relatively small boxes at good prices.
