Glass Door Between Garage And House
Hi all we would like to have glass on our door that leads into the home from the attached garage.
Glass door between garage and house. Is glass code in garage door between house and garage. View all house to garage doors. There is nothing that says it has to be a fire rated door as frequently reported by home inspectors. We have several windows in the garage and if we have glass on the door we would bring a bit of light into the windowless mudroom.
I am hearing different opinions on whether it is possible to have glazi. Of course this door can never lead to a bedroom. For the door between the house and the garage all that is necessary is to install a door that meets the fire separation requirements of the code. You would need to use a steel retaining frame as the plastic home depot style would melt out long before the wire glass fell apart and the glass would be to small to worry about maybe 5 x 18.
The door shown below is an example. We check the bug on the glass and it is usually safety glass but have yet to find one with glass that is fire rated.
