Check out this fact sheet. They have it up to 12 mm........ then I think you have to get laminated sheets.

I hope it's for a terrarium. Otherwise you need 5 layers of 1/4" laminated glass and a steel frame around the outside. Pilkington (formerly AFG) is a Canadian manufacturer of low iron glass.

I think he wants 4X8 sheet not a 4X8 tank.
