What is the standard thickness of glass for a shop front of X size of double glazed unit?
Generally, display windows (including shop fronts) are exempt from the requirements of Part L of the building regulations and as such are usually glazed with a single pane. The specification of an appropriate glass for shop front applications may depend upon a number of factors, including the size of the pane, how it’s supported and the design wind load.
