Is this glass strong enough to be put as a window in a house?

I would not recommend this. The glass is not too thick. I put mine behind my existing window. The colors are really beautiful. I hope this helps you. Helga

The glass is sturdy. Be certain to pack it up with good padding as you would with any fragile, glass item. Also, be sure to dismantle base from screen. It would certainly break away if you omit this step.

You would have make some modifications to the window. You would at very least have to make a frame out of 2"x4" and that would have to connect to something else to keep it secure. I would take the glass out and frame in the window.

I wouldn't risk it. The glass is such poor quality that one of mine even arrived from the factory with a hairline crack, in a place that was not likely cracked due to shipping damage. (After multiple emails, my latest replacement still hasn't arrived.). This type of glass is technically supposed to be more resilient when heated and cooled, but unfortunately that isn't true of this particular product.

It's not real glass. We have dropped it a time or two and it has not broken or even cracked.

If you can install it UNDER the pane-dividers, it will be more secure. Remember that the glass will still break, so I'd be afraid of the smaller panes breaking out of the frame, unless the whole of the glass in the door were covered.

It is impossible! Bullet proof and stronger than your windows. No one could get in. My installer told me all windows should be made of this material.

I would say yes. There is no reason you couldn't use glass as far as I know.

The glass is glued into the door so if this is something you were looking to do yourself then it may be difficult. I did not see an option to buy it with different glass types. The glass looks pretty good though. People that have seen it so far like it. Be careful if you want to use this as a tabletop unit as the door is too heavy and it tips. So it has to be mounted in order to avoid that. I was disappointed with that fact as it looks like it is meant to sit on the tabletop rather than mount to the wall.

Yes the glass is tempered that way it can withstand the heat in your fireplace.

It would work, but I would be afraid it would scratch or the break glass. It is heavy

It seems pretty strong, but it is glass and I could see it breaking if a heavy enough object fell into it hard.

It depends on the size. Window glass is not necessarily and good keeping in the heat. I use this unit in my garage in between my two work benches - just to take the chill off my feet. Good little unit that my purpose.

I think so. If you read quite a lot of reviews, you'll probably see that it's made of a different strength of glass than some, so it may be more sturdy. Good luck with your purchase!

unsure!!! be careful... try a test piece of glass first. this is strong stuff!!!

No. I wouldn't chance it, you have to clamp down pretty hard to get it to stay secure. I just dont know if glass can take the force without cracking

If you mean tough glass, no. It's not extremely lightweight but it's not very thick
