What is the thickness of glass that people have been using for their pond widows?
I want a window 4ft x 2ft, so I intend to get a piece 5ft x 3ft to allow for the overlap.
Also have you used toughened or laminated?

Hi try www.watsons-glass.co.uk
tell them what size you need they will sort you out, they have done loads of window glass for people's ponds
from what i can remember around £85 laminated for a standardish size window

Best thing to do is have a phone around Your local Glass shops. I called Watsons for a price it came back at £560
and they wanted me to sign all number of contracts blah blah blah
Some lovely lady gave me a contact down our way,(Whitstable Glass) Got the same glass to the same spec for £130
I think the trouble with Watsons is they see Koi as a richmans hobbie and just ramp up the price.

Again I have to second what Justin says about Whistable Glass. Very helpful and by far the cheapest quote I had. My glass was approx is approx. 1800mm x 600mm. Total price was £180.
Cheers

That sounds better, after all i have the spec now so can just give that to someone else to deal with. Just got to find someone local to do it now....
