Default Re: Safety glass requirements

That's what I do, Joe. If I don't find "safety glass," then I recommend having a qualified glass professional install it, but I let that professional make the appropriate call as to what type of safety glass is required or appropriate for the specific areas.

I treat the term "glazing" similar to "service equipment" and "water closet," prefering to use "glass," "main panel," and "toilet," which are terms with which my Clients are familiar. "Glazing" is reserved for donuts. I have no idea where "water closet" came from and would be totally embarrassed to use that term in my reports. It's a toilet. Always has been. Always will be.

RRay;

Would it make sense that at one time in history, the toilet was in the closet that had no water or outside closet where it got called an out house after elaborate designs, and when water plumbing was introduced inside the house itself, it became a WATER CLOSET ha. ha.

Hey, Marcel.

It just might. The history of the toilet just might make some, uh, interesting toilet room reading.
