For my crissy the OH bought me an extra vent kit and louvre kit for my toughened glass g/h. Went to fit it today (instead of doing homework - no contest btw). Got out the existing pane, measured it 10mm too large ! poo ! Phoned glazier to find out how much it would be to cut it to fit! TOUGHENED GLASS CAN'T BE CUT ! double poo ! OK bite the bullet and price up a new sheet already cut to size. 600mm x 545mm x 4mm. That will be £18.50 inc VAT. WHAT  Rang a few more places, and the price went from between £9 - £28. Something strange going on here ! Told one of the mid-range merchants about the cheap pane. "Bite their hand off - I can't even buy it in for that". Phoned back cheapo place, double checked the measurements again and sure enough it was £9. Only difference perhaps was that cheapo place didn't polish the edges. Well inside the vent frame I don't NEED polished edges. They won't take the order by phone and they are a little further away but to save £19 I can cope with the expense of the petrol. So will go and order it at the weekend. All kits bits now back in box. What a palarver and I've not even plucked up the courage to look at the louvres yet ! SO, take my advice, when you're buying a new greenhouse, get the extras to start with ! ;D p.s. you might see this post on a couple of other forums, but thought it was important enough to spread the word ! |
