Sorry, but not trying to be be rude or silly, have you considered getting a no obligation price from your local nearest window manufacturer who can give you the options which you can then use a benchmark when checking other prices. I don't think there would be too many here that could give accurate pricing for your specific needs.
Just wondering a rough cost of a sheet this size for the family room with either aluminium or timber frame.
Would the price be any cheaper to get 2 smaller sheets (ie 2 x 2500mm H x 12500mm x 12mm)
As it would have to be safety glass, I believe it can come in 2 flavours / varieties.
Laminated (which one can cut to size ) or Toughened (which is heat treated and cannot be cut after after treated.)
Advantages / disadvantages, would one be significantly cheaper to buy?
Thanks Andrew
I spent some time wondering why you need 12500 wide glass... I see your thread title is only 2500 wide... I don't have accurate info with me so it's a guess...
2500x2500x12 about $500 for the glass $300 for the frame and $500 to install glass on site. Glass weighs 200kgs, so maybe 6 people to lift. Toughened would be cheapest. Extra mullions would make glass slightly cheaper and install a lot cheaper.
That is not a quote, just a conservative guide. Ed EDIT typo
