Safety Glazing Standards
- ANSI Z97.1: Safety performance specifications for glazing materials.
- CPSC 16 CFR 1201: Federal safety standard for architectural glazing.
- Tempered glass: Required for many door lites, sidelites, and shower enclosures.
Commercial Security & UL-Rated Glass
Some properties require additional security. We can advise on UL-rated glass options and laminated assemblies to meet risk requirements.
Shower Door Safety
Shower doors require tempered glass with appropriate thickness and hardware load ratings. We confirm the correct glass type and safe installation for residential projects.
See Shower Doors and Residential Glass Services for related services.
Energy-Efficient Glazing & Safety Requirements
Energy-efficient glazing must still account for applicable safety requirements. The correct glass type depends on the opening, use, product documentation, and project requirements.
