Good point. Ordinary glass is not intended to use in high temperature. If the heat is not spread evenly ordinary glass could break. Borosilicat glass can even spread the heat even.
The fiberglass from Replikeo is crap.

I've used several sheets of ordinary 3mm float glass for the last year - not had one break (yet!). I do take care to ensure that the glass is heated evenly (it sits on an aluminium heatbed)....

I use 4mm float glass (windows glass) on the heatbed directly without any problems, the aluminium heat spreader is not needed IMHO

No heat spreader - the heated bed itself is aluminium.
