CGA Proposes Voluntary Standard for Heavy Glass Shower Enclosures

摘要

Nearly 30 months ago the California Glass Association (CGA) established a task group charged with developing code and voluntary standards for heavy glass shower enclosures. "The current International Building Code (IBC) has no mention of showers at all," said Donn Harter, director of technical services for the CGA. "Our efforts were aimed at developing a code amendment for the 2009 IBC." According to Harter, the group's work was precipitated by several building jurisdictions that had placed a moratorium on the continued installation of frameless shower units.
