Questions about glass and its applications

Hi, 

We need advice with a frameless glass balustrade we have been asked to supply and install. 

Job is in qld, Australia.  

Glass, 12mm toughened. Fix to slab with 2 x core drill stainless steel spigots. Handrail to bolt through glass and tie into walls. 

The developer and architect want the finished glass height to be 1350mm . 

The spigot supplier only has calculations to a glass height of 1200mm. 

We are in need of someone to advise or calculate if we can go to 1350mm high. 

We have test results for the spigots if thay helps.

I've been seeing some stunning sliding glass doors in magazines. https://coverglassusa.com/texas/ I'm sooo tempted but I have some concerns with how they hold up. Has anyone had them? Do they hold up well? Is cleaning them a challenge? 

Thanks!

I am researching the latest developments in large windscreen removal methods particularly cutting through cured polyurethane without using power oscillating vibration tools?

An aluminium glass mirror is made of a float glass manufactured using vacuum coating, i.e. aluminium powder is evaporated (or "sputtered") onto the exposed surface of the glass in a vacuum chamber and then coated with two or more layers of waterproof protective paint.

Sputter Deposition In which a glow plasma discharge, usually localized around the “target” by a magnet, bombards the material sputtering some away as a vapour for subsequent deposition.

PVD Coatings are made for a specific set of properties high wear resistance, high oxidation resistance, low friction, high hardness at high working temperature, adhesion, scratch resistance and better surface finish in precise colour.

I am wondering if panels have a chip in an edge or corner, at what size do they present a risk of breakage? From what I have read,the compression and tension layers increase as glass thickness increases. If a panel shows damage and it did not break, I read the chip did not penetrate the tension zone. Is it therefore unlikely to break? What is the expected damage size measured along the edge and face in say a panel of 6mm compared to 19mm of a chip that is likely to fail?

Thank you.
