We had a vaulted ceiling in our home and several years ago we put a floor in to add an extra room area. It gave us about 120 square feet of space in the home on the second floor. We knew at the time the second floor window glass might need to be changed to tempered glass for safety reasons.
With the floor finished, the knee wall and glass frame is about 9 inches tall from the floor. Some people I speak with say it should be about 10 inches high and others say 18 inches to avoid the need for tempered glass.
Now we are selling the house and want to make any glass change if we have to, but only if necessary. The buyer's inspector will bring this up in his report. The new buyer is getting their own glass people to evaluate this matter and I would like other opinions.
I'm posting some pictures and the link, to show what I'm talking about. I would appreciate any comments as to the knee wall / glass.
