Im wanting to know the cost now, I know I can ring a supplier up.

Not sure about the audio screen buts is 7mm thick and supposed to aid
in sound proofing.

I'm trying to determine if the cost I have been charged for some
windows is fair or not...........

Cheers

It's all about labour.
Ask the same supplier for prices on 10 full sheets, and the
per-square-meter
price will be dramatically lower.
Plus, of course there is wastage when cut, as only a given number of
windows
can be cut out of a sheet - and they'll rarely have no waste.

Glass is charged per sq. m. as supplied to the customer.
Its up to the glass cutter as to how much waste he produces.

You need to add the 'energy tax' to the bill as well, which if I remember is
around 50p/m for 4mm float.
