What is the difference between 3/8-inch thick frameless shower glass and 1/2-inch thick frameless shower glass?

In short, glass thickness determines the structural strength of your shower enclosure. Here's a quick look at both options:

• 3/8-Inch Heavy Shower Glass
  Three-eighth-inch thick glass is the smallest thickness size that can be used in frameless showers to assure sound, quality construction. It's also more budget-friendly than half-inch glass.
• 1/2-Inch Heavy Shower Glass
  Premium half-inch thick glass offers the greatest structural integrity and durability. It's the same kind of glass used for storefronts. It not only looks more impressive but also has a more substantial feel.
