<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 357051, member: 54"]Thanks, I finally got the glass fully unpacked and only one sheet out of about 20 was cracked, and all over too so unrepairable. I dispatched it with a hammer so it’ll fit in the trash; was double auto-type glass so was very hard to break up. The rest is 1/4 in. thick wire-reinforced glass so I think it’ll do fine as windows for the large fume hood. We’ll put each pane into a wood frame sort of like storm windows so they’ll be easier to handle and install than just glass panes. I have to look up wired glass and find its characteristics, never had any before. There’s a supplier’s description with it but it isn’t too detailed. But maybe it has all details needed, it is described as “wired safety glass” made of “super lite I-W.” Articles on the web say that type is used as safety glass because it has good fire and impact resistance.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]121698[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
