Accordingly, what is the standard thickness of glass?
Common glass thickness includes:3/16″ thickness (4.8 mm) – larger cabinet door panels, single pane window, small mirrors. 1/4″ thickness (6.4 mm) – all general glass applications, such as table tops (as protective cover), insulated units, interior & exterior door lites, shelves, framed shower doors.
Subsequently, question is, does mirror thickness matter? In glass quality, see if the glass used in the mirror has no inconsistencies in its makeup and does not distort a reflection. It is recommended to have a mirror with 1/4 thickness since it will not misshapen a reflection, even if the wall where it is positioned is not flat.
Hereof, what thickness does mirror come in?
Most mirrors are manufactured to a thickness of 1/8” – 3/16” and ¼”. To obtain the best quality of true undistorted reflections, always use ¼” thick mirrors. Using mirrors with thicknesses less than ¼”, particularly when affixed to a wall, will most certainly provide a distorted image as the wall is not perfectly flat.
