I am making a custom picture frame for my wreck room in my basement. Anyone know where I can get a custom piece of glass or lucite for a reasonable price?

Dimensions are 63 3/4" wide X 29 3/4" high.

Also does lucite have to be fitted tight to keep from sagging eventually under its own weight?

The first place that comes into my mind would be royal plate glass in downtown Johnstown.

Anderson glass would have been a good bet in Woodvale but I don't think they are around anymore.

Your best bet might be your Pivot connection at cambria glass and insulation.

If you really want to spend low dollars you may be able to find used glass at Salvage Heaven in Vinco. I've bought plate glass there in the past for almost nothing.

Glass thickness will factor in price as well.

Lucite or plexiglass that big is going to bow or sag in time without a doubt.

In Altoona, a few come to mind.

Alto Glass
McClure & McClure
Allegheny Glass & Mirror

You might find a piece of clear plexi that big at Surplus City in Bellwood.

Lowes in Johnstown will cut plexiglass to size on site. You could also check with best window,they despose of old windows constantly.
I lost my mind and I aint looking for it!
