Usually single pane glass is 1/4" thick and insulated units are two pieces of 1/8" glass with an airspace in between.
An alternative to measuring the glass is to make friends with a glass company and pick their brains about the standards for your area.

Generally the thickness only starts to matter when you are working with large or old pieces of glass.

  You should cover 4.57m2 with that amount of film.

  South facing windows DR film
  
  Install went great. I went with NV-25, I am very happy. The room has been darkened significantly, from bright and hot to much more pleasant and enjoyable. Watching TV during the day is no longer blinding, when it is cloudy it is definitely a bit gloomy, I am glad I did not go with NV-15. I plan on getting more windows done in the future to help cut down on heat energy. Thanks for everyone's input!

  Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?
  
  Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

  I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..

  Headlight Taillight Vinyl question... (Looking for CHROME)
  
  I'm looking for a chrome/mirror wrap for headlights/taillights. No NEOchrome, just a mirror or chrome appearance. Looking to spice up a project. Looking for transparent so can see lights thru film. I have looked and can't find what fits the bill. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.
