Overview:
- The UBC -- Uniform Building Code -- has specific requirements for the use of safety glass and for egress.
- The therory behind the use of safety glass is just that -- safety.
- It is required where someone is most likely to slip and fall into the window, ie: running towards a door or falling in a bathroom.
- Egress is established to allow a fireman to enter a bedroom window fully loaded with gear.
- Some local jurisdictions have developed their own codes -- check for these prior to making recommendations.
- CAUTION: It is the customer’s responsibility to check that local building codes are met.
