David Meiland Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Since a bunch of contractors can't agree on this, maybe some HIs can. Replacing the two casement windows shown in this pic. Note the stairs descending at left. The outswing door beyond the stairs is a bedroom. The hallway is 43" wide measured drywall to drywall. IRC governs here. Do the new windows need safety glazing?

Tom Raymond Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 No. It's more than 16" from the door, more than 18" from the floor, and at the top of the stairs not the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 The dimension to the door...... Does it have to be >16" from any part of the door when the door is open, or is the measurement from the door opening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 You measure from the door jamb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
