    Looked all over for somewhere but no joy.

    I broke a small window in my flat and need to sort it before landlord see's it.

    Is there anywhere in Glasgow that sells this stuff? Its also called acrylic glass

    cheers

    B&Q dont have it, wickes wont cut it for me and did stockline not blow up a few years back? even has the same address as where it happened.

    dont realy want to get it from wickes as its way more than i need but if i did would it be easy to cut it?

    probably just as cheap to get a glazier to get you it cut to size. glass will be cheaper.

    It did blow up a few years ago mate...but they have another factory in basically the same place....I have used it since it blew up, hence why i recommended it:50:

    Just give them your required dimensions, what colour you need etc..they will cut it for you as well at a reasonable price.

    BnQ, Wickes etc you wont get it because they are only caterers for basic trade materials......as it is perspex you require you need a specialist for all your requirements.

    is it for a single glazed window , where in glasgow are you , go to independant glass in rutherglen or forsyth glazing in brigeton give them your sizes and ask them to cut you a piece of 4mm float glass you probably pay around £10-£15 per square metre , this is what i do , i am a sales manager in a glazing firm .hope this helps , tell me which part of glasgow you are in and i will tell you if there are any firms close to you that would sell to you .

    yes, single glazed and i'm in partick. the reason i'm looking for perspex is because i'm not a good DIYer and I'd end up breaking it but you reckon i'd be better off with glass?
