Safety glass has been a great invention! But are you aware which of your glass panes might be safety glass? Do you know when or where it's required? Modern building codes have expanded the coverage requirement.

Watch this video to find out exactly what safety glass is and how you can identify it. Some inspectors may refer to the 'bug' in determining if your glass complies. Find out what 'the bug' is and where to look for it.

This short video will show you how to determine which of your glass panes are safety protected.

Thanks for the informative little video, Chrissy! Interesting that anyone would want a full window by the bath/shower anyway - guess you home inspectors have to be prepared for anything!

What a neat suggestion. I had no idea about the bug. I have all new windows, so it must be there somewhere!
