who said anything about safety glass? tmk, there aren't any code regs for
safety glass in construction.


Yes, there are in current building codes. I'm not sure on shower doors /
tub surrounds, but there are definitely requirements for low windows in
certain areas.


for safety glass? there are residential codes for tempered glass for low
windows by doors, but what are the residential ones for safety glass? i
think there are some codes for safety glass in certain places for schools
(windows in doors, etc).


Around here the term safety glass commonly refers to laminated glass,
and tempered to tempered. That is not strictly correct. Safety glass
can come in several flavors, or which tempered and laminated are two.
This should help clarify things.
