My dad said we should always use 1/4 inch glass for shower doors and I finally pushed back
We were doing a job in Phoenix last month and the client wanted a frameless look with 3/8 inch glass. My dad, who taught me the trade, got real quiet and said 'That's too thin, it'll wobble. Stick with what works.' But I looked up the codes and for a door that size, 3/8 is actually fine if the hinges are right. It made me think, how many other 'rules' are just old habits? Has anyone else switched to thicker glass for frameless showers and had it work out okay?

My old boss swore by 3/8 inch for anything over 30 inches wide, and we never had a callback.
