Call around to different glass shops and ask for starphire or low iron glass (same thing).

Cheers,

Actually Starphire is a brand name marketed by PPG, Diamante(sp?) also sells a low iron product, often used when over 12mm thickness is required.

Check out this fact sheet. They have it up to 12 mm........ then I think you have to get laminated sheets.

thanks for that fact sheet,hope its incorrect on sheet size.48 x65 would be too short,I was lookn for a 48 x 96.But it dosent have to be Starfire,if thats the only length they have.Any low iron will do I guess
