Toughened glass is required.
You can consider toughened and laminated as this will afford additional protection.

You need to be aware of Part K of the Building Regs.
This will help you in determining what is allowable and what isn't.
Horizontal tensioned wires or ropes is not. Also pay attention to the 100mm sphere rule.

If you are not familiar with using, handling, dimensioning and installing glass, you could well be at the bottom of a fairly steep learning curve.
Best of luck!

how come you cant have steel wire when most companies offer it :S
