Replacement window glass - price?

[scotthatton]

Hi all,

I'm currently living out in France.

I'm restoring an old window in the kitchen, stripping the paint and replacing putty. I couldn't get the old glass out without breaking it - but think it must be extremely fragile perhaps, original 100 years old?!

So, I need to buy need new replacement glass. Single glazed, 3mm thick (I guess) about 40cm squared. 6 panes.

Just popped to a local DIY shop who quoted me €60 (£40) for the glass (not fitted).

How does this sound by UK standards? I thought this sounded on the pricey side. I'll do some shopping around soon, but my French isn't too good at the mo!

Thanks in advance,
Scott

So what about that price??

Sounds fair to me, but I'm thinking of UK prices.
