The thickness of shower glass doors can vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific design. However, most shower glass doors are typically made from tempered glass and are available in thicknesses ranging from 1/4 inch (6 mm) to 1/2 inch (12 mm). 1/4’’ is more often used in framed shower glass enclosures, while 3/8″ and 1/2″ are regarded as standard thickness of frameless shower glass enclosures.
Why 3/8’’ 1/2’’ glass is used as shower glass doors?
3/8’’ 1/2’’ glass is commonly used as shower glass doors due to its strength and durability. Thicker glass provides better resistance to breakage and can withstand the pressures and stresses that occur in a shower environment. It is less likely to flex or bow under its own weight, ensuring a stable and secure door.
Additionally, 3/8’’ 1/2’’ glass offers better sound insulation and can provide a more luxurious and substantial feel to the shower enclosure.
