[mjf 10+ year member]

This is for a project that I'm looking around for school, I'm in need of two 4'x6' (1/8 or 1/4") thick sheets of plexi, but of course not sure which company to get them from.

If anyone has any places that i can looking into i'd really appreciate it.

Its the thickness.Lowes only carrys the thin shit not the heavy grade 1/2 & 3/4 which can be bought from most glass stores.However it is quit expensive.

I would imagine shipping on a couple 4x6 foot sheets of acrylic wouldnt be too cheap. You might be better off checking with a local glass dealer.

estreet is easily $20 less than anyone else you will find

a couple 4x6 sheets isnt going to be cheap to buy or ship at all

i just prices some close to that myself for this build

it was around 130-150 a sheet

didnt even bother checking shipping

edit:

sorry didnt see the thickness you can get that from estreet pretty cheap. shipping would still be a bit tho

Yea I dont doubt you can get the actual glass alot cheaper online. As I have ordered small pieces from estreet before. But on a piece that size, I would go local. Not only shipping costs, but having to deal with the headache if it were to get broken during shipping.

For a 2x3x1/2 piece from a local glass company a few years was gonna be about 120-135.

A sheet that big f 1/8 or 1/4 inch will not survive shipping. Get it locally. The price will probably be more expensive but seeing as how it will have to come via trucking company instead of the normal FedEx/UPS and still probably won't survive it will end up cheaper overall.
