Default Shave/plane glass?

So you don't want to reduce the thickness of the glass by 1mm, you
simply want to cut the glass so that it fits inside the opening?

Or am I misunderstanding you again?


A-ha! No, you're correct. That's all I want to do. The glass is
10.8mm thick, and that's perfect - just what I need. The problem is
that the height of the glass (848mm) is fractionally too tall. If I
could reduce this height dimension to 847mm, it would then fit snugly
inside the inner window recess area.

Problem solved perhaps? I'll ring the glazing shop tomorrow morning,
and report back with their answer+price.
Thanks.


You will almost certainly find its cheaper to have ~30 mm cut off top and
side and make a frame to put it in (assuming its not toughened).
It will also be easier to fix when its framed.
For sound deadening you want at least 100 mm gap between the panes BTW.
