Tempered glass thickness directly impacts strength, safety, and cost. Here’s a quick guide to matching thickness with applications:

1. Thin & Lightweight (1.5-3mm)

  • Best for: Mobile devices, smartwatch screens

  • Strength: Scratch-resistant but not impact-proof

  • Example: 2mm chemically tempered glass survives 1m drops (like Gorilla Glass)

2. Standard Duty (4-6mm)

  • Best for: Windows, shower doors, table tops

  • Strength: Withstands daily impacts (e.g., door slams)

  • Safety: Breaks safely into small cubes

3. Heavy Duty (8-12mm)

  • Best for: Glass railings, storefronts

  • Load Capacity: Supports 200kg+ per square meter

  • Special Use: Balcony windshields in typhoon areas

4. Extra Thick (15-25mm)

  • Best for: Banks, jewelry displays

  • Security: Stops bullets when laminated

  • Architecture: Skyscraper curtain walls


Pro Tips:

  • Thicker isn’t always better – it adds weight and cost

  • For curved glass, add 2mm to standard thickness

  • Always specify heat-soaked glass for structural uses

Choose wisely – the right thickness saves money while keeping users safe!
