Pilothouse Windows – Best Material

What do you consider the best material for pilothouse windows? Lexan, Tempered or safety (laminated tempered) glass?? Phillip

There are no silver bullets – any of these materials will work. You need to calculate the hydrostatic pressures as a start, and then the spans involved, which will lead to the thickness of the various materials required. Easy engineering for anyone familiar with the process. – Steve
