What sort of glass should I use?
The glass panels will sit in a welded galvanised steel framework with a handle rail.
I did consider laminated glass but I have read that unless the edges are sealed the glass can delaminate or become foggy at the edges.
I am currently looking at 8mm toughned but I guess there is the risk of thermal shatter. UK temperatures so -12 deg C is possible but uncommon. Exposed location so could be some windage too.
The balcony is a 1st floor i.e. not ground.
Panels sizes (mm) are;
Panel 1 2149 898
Panel 2 1797 898
Panel 3 1799 898
Panel 4 1813 898
Panel 1 has 3 support mounts top & bottom, 2 at each side. All other panels have 2 supports on each edge.
TIA for any suggestions/places to look for info.
