Building a room divider for a condo, 9′ long about 8′-6 in height. Front will be an entertainment hutch setting on a granite top for the living room, storage under. The backside will be the closet for the bedroom. Both sides will use sandblasted glass for doors. The owner wants radius ends. My glass supplier says 24″ is the smallest radius available. Anyone familiar with radius glass, have a resourse, or know if smaller radiuses are available?
Never serious, but always right.

Depends on what you mean.
If you mean for the whole sheet of glass to bend, that's generally called "bent glass". Radii less than 24 feet (!) are easily achievable. If you mean glass bent to less than 24 inch radius, yes I've seen that too. For an online instance, http://www.vandykes.com stocks bent glass for windows or cabinets in radii as small as 6 inches.
If you want to start with a flat piece of glass, draw a curved edge on it, and cut to that curve, yes you can get edges with much smaller radii than 24 inches. My local glass shop does curved edges down to the shape of a dime.
Sorry about the typo, yes 24" not feet. Thanks.Never serious, but always right.
