Default Glass supplier in Edmonton?

Long story short, I'm trying to find 1/4" thick glass that can be cut to squares around 20" per side. I've been getting quotes in the area of $55 per pane, which seems awfully high for something so simple. Does anyone have a suggestion for cheaper glass in Edmonton?

I just got some baffles cut for that thickness a few weeks ago from crystal glass on 111th ave. They were 18x10 for $15 a piece so I can't see them being more then $55 for what you are looking for. Hope this helps.

I would go to a small glass shop business ( not a big name ) I find they are much more reasonable for small pieces like that.

Thanks, Lonster. Just by coincidence, they called me up with a quote I'd requested yesterday about 10 minutes after your post.

Grizz, do any smaller stores stand out to you? I'm definitely up for recommendations.
