Glass Thickness

This table may help

The numbers are based on a window size of 600mm x 760mm (24″ x 30″) and shows the approximate PSI (pounds per square inch) water pressure required to break glass of different types and thickness. The chart is only accurate if the mounting wall is sturdy and rigid.

**Please note:

As the size of the window decreases, the resistance to breakage will increase, and vice versa.

This chart is only a guide and is not to be interpreted as a guarantee or representation on the part of Marinelite Windows Limited as to the effectiveness of this product in conditions other than those under the use and control of Marinelite Windows Limited.**

You must also consider the strength and rigidity of the wall. A weak or flexing wall will dramatically lower these numbers. Two windows installed without a rigid wheelhouse post between them will cause the two windows to be 1/4 as strong as they would be with a post in place.

Heated Glass

Electrically heated glass comes in two types determined by the size and voltage :

One with fine conductive wires or one with a special clear film laminated between the two layers of glass.

Current is applied to create a heated surface.

This is a Laminated Tempered Glass, available for any size of fixed windows we manufacture for full window coverage.

This particular window shown has the Electrical Connection Terminal at the Bottom, however, this can be changed to the center of any side of the window. This detail is taken care of when placing an order.
