Glass for mirrors

Can anyone tell me if Annealed float glass 19mm to 25mm thick and 16 to 20 inches across would be good enough for mirrors to grind at home?

I have never build one before but I would like to give it a crack.

I know it may be better to try a smaller mirror as a first go, but I already have a commercial 11" SCT and it doesnt make sense to me to make a smaller telescope.

Information overload is good, but please try to keep it simple as I am a bit slow....

Baz.
