Glass Weight Calculator

This calculator turns the size and thickness of a piece of glass into a weight. Enter the width, height and thickness of a single pane, or the individual plies and interlayer of a laminated or insulating unit, and it returns the weight each, the weight per square foot and per square metre, and the total for the number of pieces. The default density is 2500 kg per cubic metre, the figure for the soda-lime float glass used in almost all glazing, and you can change it. Tempering and heat strengthening do not alter the weight, so the same figures cover annealed, heat-strengthened and toughened glass.

Width and Height Measured In
North American nominal inch sizes are supplied at the metric thickness beside them, so 1/4 in glass is 6 mm.
Soda-lime float glass, which is nearly all architectural glass, is 2500. Borosilicate is about 2230 and fused quartz about 2200. Tempering and heat strengthening do not change it.

Width and Height Measured In
PVB is sold in 0.38 mm plies, so a laminate is usually 0.38, 0.76 or 1.52 mm. Leave this at zero for an insulating unit: the air or argon fill and the spacer together are well under one percent of the weight.
PVB is about 1070, ionoplast about 950, EVA about 960.
