Windscreen Glass

Planning the construction of the windscreen now. Do I need to source the glass from a specialist windscreen company or can I use safety glass from a standard glass supplier?

If its not to go through iva then a glass supplier will cut you laminated glass.

You absolutely do not want 'safety glass' for a windscreen - you need laminated glass.

I personally wouldn't feel safe behind it unless I knew it was approved automotive laminated glass either - you don't want shards of glass breaking free of the plastic interlayer if it breaks.

I'm with you on this one Matt.

I had one cut from a Land Rover 90 screen. All the right marks etc.
