Non Tempered New Window

[John Evans]

This window was installed last year. 9" off the floor, the center window has about 20 sq. ft. of non-tempered glass. The two side windows are casements with inside screen. The center window must be tempered, are the casements OK with the inside screen? I would think the owner should have recourse with the window company.

what was the measurement of the side windows?

[John Evans]

Side windows about 10 Sq ft, exceeds the max. 9 Sq Ft, but do the screens offer protection?

Is tempered glass really required at that location?

No the screens do not offer protection. In fact, they typically have a sticker that says they do not offer fall protection and to parent your kids yourself for safety, or some such.

Are you sure they were not tempered?
Sometimes the Bug is hard to find.
