Like the old joke...
Fella goes to hardware shop, asks for some two-by-two....
"Oh, it's all metric nowadays, no two-by-two anymore, you have to ask for 50mm square now..."

6mm is the new standard thickness, make sure that the glass is toughened. Most glass suppliers have a machine for toughening glass.Originally posted by sasguru View PostI doubt it was manufactured abroad, as he mentioned something about it being a foreign shower and that that English glaziers didn't do 5mm width (or some other such bollux).
