Total thickness of transition flooring

I need to post the links of how I am finding all this. But until then this is my final thickness.

Tread glass will be patterned with a transparent structure for better traction. It will be composed of Saint-Gobain Sgg Diamant Glass due to performance capabilities significantly above any other known glass manufacturer with the capabilities to make the size panels I need.
Properties:
8mm
91& light transmission
80% UV transmission
max size of all thicknesses is 6000x3210 mm (currently picturing 1/4 of that)

The next pane will be the same glass without traction added
Properties:
15mm
90% light transmission
73& UV transmission

Bottom pane will be SmartGlass International's polymer dispersed liquid crystal glass as this is the bast type of transition glass technology for my design and they have the clear capabilities to produce this glass well below 10mm
Properties:
6.8mm
90% light transmission
1% UV Transmission

Between these is a Dupont SentryGlas Plus ionoplast interlayer. It acts as a structural adhesive between panels
Properties:
.06" (1.52 mm)

Total Thickness
8+15+6.8+1.52= 31.32 mm
Which with the Dupont interlayer will act as a 7% increase in strength of a 2m piece of glass meaning:
31.32 mm acting as 34 mm

Light transmission:
.91*.9*.9= 74%

Uv transmission:
.8*.73*.01= 0.6%
