the front and back pieces would be 20 X 18 the sides would be 19 3/4 X 18

silicone should only be 1 or 2 mm thick so the throw out wont be noticable

but if your getting someone to build it just tell them the dimentions.

if your going rimless deffently sandwich the sides around the bottem. it looks much better.
