The joy of small town living. Local glass supplier thinks I am rich, or stupid, or both.
Need a source for double pane window glass, approx 40 pieces.
Anybody know where to look? I’ve googled the sheet out of it and nothing.

Don't know much about small towns but around here the replacement window industry is in the dumper now the flippers have basicly stopped. If you have a manufaturer close, I'm sure they'd talk to you.
I'm looking for the glass only, NOT windows.
Small town = nobody close = bandit price schedule.

Replacement window companies make their own glass and I'm sure in slow times they would make it for you too.
Was just a thought

I have used Insul-pane in CT, but thats most of a country from you. The above link has lots of manufacturers.
I've always bought double pane glass from the hardware store. I gave them the length, width, glass thickness, and overall thickness, and in a few days the glass arrived in the store ready for me.

Jeff, I'll bite.
You're in Jersey. Why do you know about a Casa Grande, Ariz. glass company?
JoeH, similar problem here. In Denver I could get what I wanted from the mfg, great pricing. Even when I tried city glass houses here, I didn't get any better pricing than local. But I did have a few competing companies.
Leave the city, part of the price you pay for a better quality of life.

Cardinal makes the best insulating glass and is sole supplier to Marvin Windows.
The OP is in S. Utah the AZ facility is closest to the OPs location.

What type of window are you re-glazing? Why don't you go to the original manufacturer? I would not use local glass (in my area) unless there was no other choice. They offer no warranty for replacement purposes!!! Explain rich or stupid.....
Unless you are able to set up an commercial account and do repeated purchases, you are at the mercy of the resellers. Wholesalers will avoid you, even with cash in your hot little hands. Of course, they are just protecting the retailers. Nothing wrong with that.
The resellers will double what the manufacturer charges them. Then there is the 3 sq foot minimum - you pat for 3 square feet even if you are only buying one sq foot.
Then there is shipping.
All said and done, try Glass Source at http://www.theglasssource.net/
