Consult individual manufacturers for detailed product availability.
10 2 x 2 5 25 5.
Click the shape of the product you re considering.
To obtain the approximate weight of an item choose the desired product from the list.
The permissible weight load for glass shelves is based on thickness of the glass the square footage of the glass and the span between supports.
If the exact thickness is known the exact weight may be calculated using a glass density of 158 lb ft3 2531 kg m3.
Say you had a section of 12mm thick glass 1700mm x 500mm the equasion would be as follows.
If you are ordering glass for use as a shelf use this tool to make sure that it will support the weight of the items you want to put on it.
Glass weight in kg area of glass m2 length x width x thickness of the glass x 2 5kg.
So your section of glass would weigh in at 25 5kgs.
