Ed I'd love to know where you can get 6mm starphire at $10/sq m, last time I checked our price lists it was well above that! Re: indicative price for glass splashback? 13Dec 14, 2008 8:20 pm yes the raw material is cheap. However you have to toughen the glass then also spray it two pac. both these processes are expensive. Plus you need to program a cnc machine to cut out GPO. This makes glass splashback expensive Re: indicative price for glass splashback? 14Dec 14, 2008 8:24 pm borg yes the raw material is cheap.

This makes glass splashback expensive What I am getting at is where can you get 6mm starphire float (the raw material in this instance) for $10 sq/m. I can't even get 6mm CLEAR flot for that price.

Must be import stuff.....more waves than bondi beach I'll bet you a dollar that the stuff you use is imported... about 90% of glass in Australia is imported - from Indonesia, Taiwan and mainly China and India. China has better glass than Pilks (Veridian). They make some of Pilks stuff... Glass is too dear here... I can put you in touch with an importer but you would need the volume to make it economical.
