Glass Safety Standards & Compliance

Clear guidance on safety glazing, shower door standards, and security-rated glass options for commercial and residential clients.

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 & Code-Compliant Glazing

Energy-efficient glazing must still meet safety requirements. We confirm the correct glass type for openings and verify code-compliant performance.
