Window height and temperance

[Jeffrey A. Prince]

Hi Guys
Quick question about sill height. Seems to be some different opinons. If a window sill height is below 36" but it is not in a location such as stairs or landing does it need a guard and does it need to be tempered ? The window in question was about 2' feet from the floor in a dining room

There are a variety of contingencies and your description is incomplete. Refer to IRC 2006, Section 308, with your question and you will find your answer.

I just found this on the code check site. You can download it.

Do all pieces of tempered glass have to be marked? I was at an inspection today with glass on the side of a staircase, about 5 different pieces and only one had the tempered glass stamp.
