How can a newcomer learn which glass windows are scratchable, tempered, or problem manufacturing types. I don’t want to learn the hard way (lawsuit or window replacement) What/How should the waivers be worded. New to the industry. Thanks

A start to learning:

@cliff monroe

Residential properties normally used tempered glass in designated “Safety Glass” areas such as in and around entrance doors from exterrior, windows adjacent to entrance doors from exterrior, pools, shower doors and bathroom windows. You can find out what is required in your specific area by visiting you’re local building codes website and or the Internal Building Code. If near or at water front there could be hurricane codes.
Generally speaking if there is temepred glass in a home it is easliy denoted by a logo indicating the fabricator and the words “safety” or Tempered" glass permanently attached to the glass.
