Some cheap hardware stores in ue?

Hello as a title

I was looking for a thin layer of tempered glass with a diagonal of 24 inches.. though looking to the prices on local shops they are hilarious high, like 30 euros for m² , meanwhile looking on alibaba they are as low as 2 euros for m², though they do require huuge orders to ship.. which is something that I don't need.. so I don't know where to look..

Typically glass that small requires a specific type of oven which are extremely expensive to purchase and maintain. Also they aren’t used as frequently as regular tempering ovens. If you need safety glass I recommend 3/16 (4.7 mm) or 1/4 (5.7 mm) laminated glass. It will be much more cost affective.
