GLASS WIDTH UP TO	GLASS THICKNESS (tempered glass)	GLASS HEIGHT
1000mm	12.76mm	300mm – 1100mm
1700mm	16.76mm	300mm – 1100mm
3000mm	21.52mm	500mm – 1100mm

(According test BS 6180) Tested on the basis that the minimum thickness of the aluminium frame is 1.4mm. FIXING TO PVC FRAME SkyForce Top Mount Tested to Plastic According to the German Standard ETB Directive

GLASS WIDTH UP TO	GLASS THICKNESS (tempered glass)	GLASS HEIGHT
1600mm	12.76mm	700mm-1200mm
2100mm	16.76mm (17.52)	900mm-1200mm
2600mm	21.52mm	800mm-1100mm
