How it works

  1. 1Total glass thickness = 6 mm × 2 = 12 mm
  2. 2Per m² = 30 kg/m²
  3. 3Total = 1.00 m² × 30 = 30 kg
  4. 4Handling: two

Rule of thumb: 1 mm thick glass weighs 2.5 kg per m² (density ≈ 2.5 g/cm³). A 6+12A+6 double-glazed unit ≈ 30 kg/m², 5+9A+5+9A+5 triple ≈ 37.5 kg/m².

The air gap and spacer add little weight (sealant + aluminum spacer ≈ 0.5 kg per running meter) — for precise engineering loads use 2.56 as the density factor.

For openable sashes, the hinge/friction-stay load rating must exceed the glass + frame weight (check the manufacturer's report). Tempered glass cannot be cut after processing — confirm dimensions before ordering.
