What is the difference between standard and heavy shower glass?
Standard shower glass is essentially used in framed showers constructed with either 3/16- or 1/4-inch thick glass. Heavy shower glass refers to premium architectural glass either 3/8- or 1/2-inch thick. It's used to build frameless showers.
Glass strength increases with thickness so heavy shower glass offers greater structural integrity for building glass shower rooms.
