Dave you are going to use around 6 to 7 tubes of silicone for that size window. The glass I would suggest is laminated 2 x 8mm pieces. Giving a total of 16mm (17 if including the laminate) I would also leave a gap of around 10 to 20mm all around the window. A bit over kill but allows you to seal over the glass on to the fibreglass. I also don not use frames I find them uneccasary and expensive. If you want to know how to go about doing a window without a frame search the archives or give me a call and I will talk you through it.
Hope this helps?
