Layer 1: glass

Nominal overall thickness: 6mm (includes cavities). 6mm clear toughened

This adds nominal layer thicknesses; it does not establish safety class, structural capacity or manufacturing tolerances. Annealed, heat-strengthened and toughened laminates need the appropriate specified product/system.

Gross panel mass

Quantity total (1)

14.40 kg

Gross area before holes/cut-outs; packing, fittings and gas mass excluded. Glass uses 2,500 kg/m³. Film uses the entered density or an explicit approximate 1,100 kg/m³. Cavities add overall thickness but no glass mass.

14.40 kilograms per pane, 14.40 kilograms total.

Multi-pane schedule

Handling assessment

Pane mass does not establish a safe lift or crew size. Assess shape, grip, sharp edges, posture, wind, carrying distance, access and the people involved. Avoid hazardous manual handling where possible and use appropriate rated handling aids. Confirm the plan with the supplier or trained glass handler.
