Which code does this activity belong in?
Glass and Glazing Contractors install glass panes and related glass work in buildings, including decorative applications, coatings, and tinting. This code covers the specialized installation of glass materials in prepared openings, distinguishing it from Siding Contractors, which install exterior wall coverings, and from Roofing Contractors, which cover roof surfaces. The work includes new installations, alterations, maintenance, and repairs performed on glass-specific components rather than the structural or envelope systems that other specialty trades handle.
