Plate glass shatters too easily. Defenitely not the choice you want for burm or monitor.
I've used tempered glass. Once I hit the door center hard with an old steel snake hook, pointed end. No problem. It takes one heck of alot of force to break tempered glass.
As stated by others, safety glass doesn't leave sharp pieces everywhere if broken. And it is strong to boot.
So I would go safety glass, and if you can't get that, then tempered. Don't even consider plate glass. I'd go Lexan before plate glass, even if Lexan can get scratched. And Lexan weighs less than glass in that you do not need the same thickness with Lexan as you need with glass. Not a bad choice really. Holds heat in better. And if you can make it somehow so the Lexan is replaceable, even better. ----- Mark
