Retail Glass Distributors

Of course, there's Armstrong's outlet store also.

************* I was in Atlanta last week. I looked in the yellow pages under stained glass and it went from architec... to art... with no Armstrong in there. I'll have some time to kill there Monday morning. Can you tell me where the Armstrong outlet store is and where I can find their hours?

Thanks, Michael

Armstrong's outlet store is in the N Marietta area, in Cobb International Industrial Park which is off of Cobb Parkway (US41), North of Barrett Parkway. The building is in the rear of the complex, behind Brigade Quartermasters. I'm pretty sure they are open 9-5.

The URL to the retail side was in my original post:

don't sell "all" their glass, simply because their production line isessentially demand-based: as I recall, they don't actually make some colors and textures unless someone's ordered it. But they do have a pretty large selection available at any given time. There's a phone number on the webpage, and whenever I've called they've been very helpful. I'm sure they can do a much better job answering your questions than I can.

Is Armstrong still making glass there, or is it all from China now?

Thanks for the links to Kokomo and Armstrong. From the Armstrong link I found all the information for the outlet store in Atlanta. I've got an early flight down there tomorrow and the meeting I need to attend doesn't start till 1PM, so I'm heading up there to take a look. If I want some of the glass and shipping is too pricey, I've got travel back to Atlanta in a few more weeks. Since it's under 400 miles from where I live (southern Indiana), work will let me drive my own vehicle and reimburse me for gas. I might go that route and pick up the glass myself.

And Kokomo is just a couple hours drive north of me. As soon as possible I'm wanting to take a Friday off and drive up there and check it out.

China, but they got a big warehouse with stuff in it that the distributors don't carry, lots of nice stuff, and unusual.

and did you get the box with the vases?

From Hartsfield Inconvenient Airport, go N on I-85, it will merge with I-75 in a couple of miles. Continue N right through downtown ATL, (expect LOTS of traffic) and then ease over into the right 3 lanes as I-75 splits off to the right. Continue N on I-75 to exit 269, (Barrett Parkway).

Turn L at that bottom of the exit and go West about 3 or 4 miles. Turn R on US 41 (Cobb Parkway). There is a Carmax dealership on your Left at that intersection just before you turn. You will turn left into the industrial complex a couple of miles North.

The entrance is at a cross-over between the divided lanes where there is no traffic light. If you see a small airport on your right as you go up a long hill, you went too far.

Thanks, Moonraker, for the excellent directions.

I've got a tie-in to the thread title and Armstrong. Because it looks like the fellow with the glass shop over in Bloomfield is preoccupied with his printing business, my wife and I traveled about an hour over to Nashville, Indiana and visited The Glass Menagerie. It was our first time to visit the store. Wonderful people with lots and lots of glass. Although it was almost all cut down into small pieces about

14" x 24" or smaller, they had several bigs sheets of Armstrong that were really beautiful.

Really? and the shipping from Italy shouldn't be cost prohibitive, right?

Well, I don't need to be so rude I guess, Enrico, nice of you to let people know you are around, but the shipping would shoot any material deal in the foot.
