Any advise where to get glass from please & Perspex
I'm in the Midlands 10 miles from Birmingham

Is there a minimum order?? As this will be my 1st order & don't know how much to get thanks in advance

For smaller pieces you could try Lion in Birmingham. Both Centrado and Wessex have a van delivery service and offer full sheet and cut to size.

Alternatively, there must be other framers in your area - go and talk to them.

Thank you Steve

Try KC Glass over in the Black Country. They provide all grades of acrylic and glass at good rates. There will be a minimum order though. Ask for Dennis

Thank you

How much you should get will depend on how much you will be framing. Obviously the more you can get the better the discount will be. I get 50 sheets at a time.
For perspex I just get single sheets as and when required but I don't use a lot and try and talk people out of it when I can.
I get mine from FW Holroyd who are a wholesaler based in Scotland although I think they venture into England once a week.
If you figure out how you are getting your framing supplies and then talk to those suppliers, see what they can offer and what it suits you to store and use.

Many thanks for getting back to me
