Default Where to Buy Glass

I need to buy 2 pieces of glass which are roughly 46" x 13" and am not fussy about the thickness. Any suggestions were to get this in Edmonton? Thanks.

When I needed glass for my 90 gallon I just went to a local glass smith and had it cut and ground for $15. There has to be at least one glass smith in Edmonton.

Wow, thats it? I got two sheets of 18x18" glass that is about 1/4" or just less, like barely noticeably less, and it cost 48 bucks!

But yes, there are many glass shops you can go to for that.

Yep, $15. It was actually going to be $20, but the guy let me grind it myself so he knocked $5 off the price.

Default No Cheap Glass

I have not been able to find any cheap glass in Edmonton either, depending on the application though, you can find some cheap plastic/acrylic (say for sump dividers)
