Default Toughened glass thickness opinion.....

It's at ground level, a cat enclosure.

At 5mm thickness and only 350mm wide, I'd say that's far more than good
enough - as long at the framing and clamps aren't moving around and
imposing any twisting loads. 4mm, un-toughened glass used to be normal
for pretty large, single-glazed windows.


Sounds like we'll be OK then. We get proper wind here though and there
is a bit of flex to them.
