home depot or loews sell glass in precut sheets, as small as 12"x12". plexiglass scratches easily and from my understanding can warp over time due to direct heat, not 100% sure on that but i certainly wouldnt take a chance with plexi when a sheet of glass is only a few bucks to begin with

It will need to be stat’ed anyhow so shoudnt be any fire risk
