Hi,

Can anyone recommend an alternative material to glass for glazing wardrobe 
doors? I have two spans of 1400mm w x 2500mm h, and I am making 2 sliding 
doors for each span - my worry is that full blooded tempered glass will be 
too heavy (I'm aiming for 3 glazed panels in each dor), and each pair of 
doors will hang from a length of 4x2 (layed 4" horizontal).

Any tips welcome,

Aiden

>when glazing any side hung glass you would be well advised to use the

' Toe and Heeling method '
whereby wedges are placed under the glass under bottom hinge side and over
top handle side
thus passing majority of weight down through hinge side

however if your doors are slideing
then i would have thought that 4 X 2 has enough strength
as long as the rail it is hanging off is adequate.
