How Thick Should a Terrace Glass Balustrade Be?

The thickness of your glass balustrade isn't a one-size-fits-all situation. For standard residential balustrades, a thickness of 10mm toughened glass is often sufficient.

When we're talking about commercial spaces or areas with higher foot traffic, we're looking at beefier options—think 21.5mm toughened laminated glass panels.

After putting it to the test, we've found that for frameless systems, which are all the rage for their sleek, uninterrupted views, a minimum of 15mm toughened glass is advisable. The larger the span or the more demanding the application, the thicker the glass should be to ensure safety and durability.

For larger spans or commercial applications, the thickness should be increased accordingly to maintain safety and stability.
