Hello FMs, we are currently remodeling our office and installing aluminium partitions with glass walls. We have two options to consider; 8mm tempered glass or 10mm plate glass. With the glass sheets being 3.3 x 2.1 meters. What would be your recommendation?

Hi Jonathan,
What type of office setting is it?  An office building or an office area within a manufacturing space?

Also, is there a cost difference in the two?

I just realized your first post was 22 days ago.  Have you already made a decision on glass type since initial posting and if so, what did you choose?

For reference, we built a new office building and we also had large glass panels to allow natural light to enter the building. The panels went from floor to Ceiling and we used tempered panels.  Ours panels were also around 10mm thick.  On the off chance that one broke, we did not want our employees to injure themselves.

Hi Joseph,

It's an office building.
