As per the title, I'm looking for a 20" long by 12-16" wide piece of tempered glass to act as a vertical splatter-proof shield for the cooking area of my counter top.

Perhaps a cutting board might work (something like http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/16-inch-x-20-inch-glass-cutting-board/1010166160) but I'd prefer it to be CLEAR glass if possible.

Any ideas where I might pick up something like this in Dublin?

Actually clear plastic glass might work as well, but worried it might not be safe beside a cooker?

Have had no luck finding a 40x50cm worktop saver in Dublin city centre, although there is one on amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Completely-Clear-Float-Glass-Worktop/dp/B007UI3110/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1417096799&sr=8-3&keywords=clear+glass+worktop+saver

Bit expensive, including delivery, though (€30)

Get a piece from your local glass supplier........ they'll cut to size, polish edges and get it toughened for you.

Will that be cheaper than €60 for 2 sheets?

I would reckon so, ring around a few glazers for quotes........prices vary from shop to shop.

Cut first and toughened after.
