I'll describe it to you. the bottom pane is 1/2" think and is 25"x21" then a piece of 3/8" glass is siliconed on top of that piece that is 23-7/8"x19-7/8". Then the sides are put on top of the 1/2" piece and don't totally but up against the 3/8". There is about 1/16" of room for the silicone on any of the sides on the inside piece of glass. With this design you will have Tensile and adhesive strength. This may be way over kill but I've had a long time to come up with this and it's rock solid.


I'm sorry but glass is just a better choice in my opinion, because acrylic will lose it clarity and get micro scratches. Seen this over and over no matter how good a quality the acrylic is.
