3.8 is the usual safety factor. You can raise it for extra margin, never lower it.
Cutting list
Sizes are for a typical build: the walls sit on the base, and the ends fit between the front and back. Allow about 1 mm at each silicone joint, and check the list against your own build method before you order.
Your cutting list
For aquarium makers, shopfitters and installers. ToughGlaze has supplied aquarium makers since 1993, with glass cut to size and processed under one roof.
A guide, not a structural calculation. Thicknesses come from a published engineering method for glass panels under water pressure, with a safety factor of 3.8 or more. They are for rectangular, all-glass indoor tanks with a braced top edge, up to 1,000 mm high, on a flat, level stand that can take the filled weight. Rimless tanks, taller or outdoor tanks, pools, shaped or sloping glass and viewing panels need a bespoke check. Always confirm your specification with the ToughGlaze team before you order.
