Face of glass/ face of wall

Todd Lariviere

In reading the BOMO book, I am unclear on where to transition from glass to wall. I have a wood constructed building with double hung and casement windows. Do I continue the inside finished face of the wall over to the exposed edge of glass? Do I transition between the two at the edge of the window frame?

Thank you,

Todd

Hi Todd,

You follow the vertically dominant line which in most cases means your measure line goes in and out to and from the window glazing and inside finished surface of the exterior wall. When measuring to the glazing, we normally include the window frames.

Thanks,
David
