The thickness of the glass railing directly affects its safety and stability and needs to be determined according to the usage scenario and load-bearing requirements. The following are common thicknesses and applicable scenarios:
8-12mm: Suitable for low-risk areas such as indoor low-rise stairs and balconies, with low cost and light visual effect.
12-15mm: Commonly found on residential balconies or commercial spaces, taking into account both safety and transparency.
15-19mm: Used in high-rise buildings, outdoor terraces and other places where wind pressure and impact resistance are required, and complies with the mandatory requirements for safety glass in the "Technical Regulations for the Application of Architectural Glass" (JGJ 113-2015).
Professional reference: National standard GB 15763.2-2005 stipulates that the thickness deviation of tempered glass for construction shall not exceed ±0.2mm, and it must pass the falling ball impact test (a 1040g steel ball will not break when dropped freely from a height of 1m).
