Safety Window Film As An Inexpensive Tempered Glass Workaround
Bringing Your Fort Collins Home Windows Up To Code During A Remodel
It is no secret that remodels are extremely expensive– just ask anyone who has ever done one. However, remodeling your home and thereby allowing yourself a better quality of life is almost always worth the time and money you spend. One problem that occurs a lot during remodels is trying to bring your home or commercial building up to code. Since codes change frequently, it is almost a guarantee that in order to proceed with your remodel there are few things you will need to fix to conform to one new code or the another. One such area almost always ends up being ultra-expensive is the retrofitting of windows with safety glass. Today’s building codes are much more stringent, requiring safety glass in windows or doors near or around “dangerous” areas: in bathrooms and stairwells, sliding glass doors and ramps all require tempered glass. The cost for this can be extremely high depending on the scope of the project. However, a simple and cost-effective workaround for retrofitting windows and doors with tempered glass during your remodel is safety window film.
