Source of UV glass

I do a lot of framing and have typically used window glass. For some of
the work I'd like to use UV glass or optically clear (non-green) glass, but
I can't find any source for the glass other than framing shops. Does
anyone have sources for the type of glass that will ship it via UPS or
FedEx?

Thanks, Geoff

If you have framing "shops" (multiple) you must surely
have glass companies in your locale. If they don't
stock UV glass or plexiglass, ask them to special order
it for you. Shipping costs for a glass company are
trucking (freight) rates - not the higher UPS and FEDEX
charges.

The problem is that most framing shops have a 2-3x markup & I don't want to
pay those kind of rates.

Try www.lightimpressionsdirect.com . They stock a variety of UV resistant
material. They are a definitive source of all archival materials. Many
galleries use their materials. May not be exactly cheap. But get the
catalog as it is quite educational.
No personal connections other than being a satisfied customer.

I understood you the first time.
Apparently you didn't understand
me.

I am suggesting you go to the
COMMERCIAL SOURCE of glass in your
area. I was NOT suggesting you go
to specialty stores like frame
shops. I have always found commercial
outlets more than willing to help
cash-only customers off the street.
Wholesalers are also excellent sources
of "scrap pieces" that they often sell
at large discounts if you take it "as is."
