I discovered a few years ago that GE had a UV Grade of Lexan, but I never
was able to find any. I am less than impressed with Lexan's longevity as far
as clarity.

Jim -- I had always heard that Lexan (polycarbonate) was generally much less
resistant to UV exposure than Plexiglas (acrylic); has that improved in
recent years?

Just as a FYI, flame polishing will shorten the life of your windows since
it stresses the material and starts micro-crazing at the edges. My choice
for material would be bronze 3/8" cast acrylic or Lexan. Lexan is more
flexible, stronger (and about 30% more expensive) but scratches more easily.
