| Oldskool:
I'm almost done my "little" project that started out in my cold, cold garage last winter. Last but not least, I now have to order glass of some sort. I've seen Oscar's pics, and have decided to go with smoked / tinted. Questions: Which is better, plexi or glass? I've heard that glass reflects more. Transmittibility ratings. Should I get the darkest stuff? (lowest percentage) Retailers in Canada. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance. |

Glass is so much harder to scratch and looks so much better. Any glass shop should be able to help you. Just start calling them in the phone book. |

Glass is MUCH better. The price difference isn't that bad either. You can get tempered smoked for less than $30USD I imagine non-smoked would be even less. I got something like a 27"*32" 5/16" Tempered smoked glass. (someone can verify that for me, I got the thickness from someone on the boards. |
| paigeoliver:
I believe 5/16" is the size I usually buy as well. I usually pay about half that though, because I know people! |
