β Q: Should windows be 5mm and doors 6mm?
A:
Yes β thatβs a common and cost-effective starting point, but it depends on the application.
πͺ Windows (5mm) β suitable for standard residential windows where thereβs less impact risk
πͺ Doors (6mm) β slightly thicker for added strength since doors are used more frequently
πͺ Better upgrade β consider tempered glass for extra safety and durability
π‘οΈ High-use or large panels β 8mm or laminated glass is more recommended
π Pro Tip:
5mm and 6mm can work, but for modern homes, especially in Uganda, going for tempered glass (6mmβ10mm) gives you better safety, strength, and long-term value.
At Fabrimart, we donβt just choose thickness β we ensure you get the right glass specification for safety and performance.
