Smoked Lexan instead of Tempered Glass?
Pages: (1/1)
Virtualmatt:
Someone told me that smoked tempered glass for my cocktail cabinet would run me ~$350. That's above and beyond my budget, so would Smoked Lexan be a good cheap alternative?
The glass would be the standard cocktail size and all. Thanks!

Virtualmatt:
I did a search last night, and didn't come up with a specific lexan vs. tempered glass post. Perhaps you could link me to a specific post . . . ? The search terms I used obviously failed me, and for that I apologize.

The glass I just bought for my upright (26" x 26.25") was only around $70, (with the edges brushed for smoothness-i.e. to ground out sharp edges.)
It was greylite #14. Found that suggested by another member. Works and looks great.

You need to check on that price. Sounds pretty high to me. I remember doing some comparisons for my upright and the price of lexan and glass was very close. I ended up with plexi for half the price and just went slow when working with it.
For a sit down cab I would think you would want to go with tempered glass. It will be stronger all around and better suited to the table. Just call around to a few places and see what they can do.
