Default Bathroom Window
Found this window in a bathroom, in the tub/shower area. It is 5 1/2 " corner to corner, 36" from the floor and the sill was 17" from the window to the edge of the tub. To me this window should be tempered glass, but I would like your opinions.
Thanks

Yes it is required when less than 60 inches from the tub drain.

Default Re: Bathroom Window
That window looks to predate the code (1991) for windows in the bathtub area. I would recommend that while repairs are not required, tempered glass or a safety barrier should be installed as a safety upgrade.
