Glass does not form a crystalline structure, but instead forms an amorphous solid, which allows the molecules to move. Regular solids form a crystalline structure which buckles the molecules in place, which doesn't allow them to move unless there is a change in the environment, ie. temperature.
This suggests that glass molecules can flow, like some sort of an extremely viscous liquid, hence glass is considered a supercooled liquid. Furthermore, the liquid form of glass cools. The fact that windows are thicker at the bottom provides evidence for this theory, suggesting that the glass flows downwards over time, causing the bottom to be thicker

Glass is an amorphous solid and all the amorphous solids have a tendency to flow, though very slowly. Hence glass is considered a super cooled liquid and that becomes the reason why the glass windows become slightly thicker at the bottom that at the top over a period of time.
Explanation:
- All amorphous solids have tendency to flow as rubber, plastic.
