Shower / Bath Screen Thickness

[imroberts]

I'm looking to replace an existing bath screen which is 1450 x 750mm.

I'm looking to replace with one 1450 high to cover up existing marks on the wall, most replacements appear to be 1400 or 1435. Ideally I'd like to go an inch or two wider if possible.

The most suitable I've found looks to be the Mira Elevate which comes in at 1450 x 800 but the glass is only 5mm. Most other bath screens including my current one appear to be 6mm thick.

What's the downside of the thinner one? Ideally I'd like to stick with a reputable brand but it strikes me as odd that the only brand I recognise appears to be selling a lesser product?

The only downside being it’s lighter , which turns out to be an upside.
check availability on 5mm replacement seals . That’s all.

When it comes to a bath shower screen then there isn't much to worry about re the thickness, there wouldn' really be a downside that I can see, in fact thinner glass is lighter so less weight on the hinges.
