No problems with the sliders or acrylic. We love them.

I'd probably prefer glass as acrylic requires some care in cleaning as some chemical cleaning can cause problems. The grass sprinklers left a residue that I could get off glass but I don't know how to get off the acrylic. The residue was caused by years of neglect by prior owners.

Also, need to be careful barbecue grill doesn't get too close to acyrlic or it'll warp/melt.

Neighbors put in glass and they're very happy with the glass. We were told that the quality and cost goes in the order of vinyl, acrylic and then glass. We were also told that glass used to cause increase in property tax while vinyl and acylic did not.
You said that you were told glass used to cause increase in property tax... is that still true now?
