Re: Safety glass?
If the "exposed area" (IRC language) of that bottom pane is 35 inches wide and it is square, then it isn't greater than 9 square feet and so wouldn't have to be safety glazed.

Re: Safety glass?
and to expand on Jonh's information the window pictured is not an equally sized upper and lower sash therefore the lower sash would be less than 35" tall/high. Non-tempered OK by code but a simple advisement to your client should not be questionable.

Nope, just looked and top was bigger, just like I like 'em.

215? You must be below sea level.
Hey, wait a minute. The posts aren't being added up. I have two that say Posts: 406 and you have two that say Posts: 215. What the ...?
Now I'm really confused. Since I posted on another thread, now all my posts on this thread say Posts: 407!
I'm taking a nap.
