The illustration above
shows the relative eye levels of various heights of
individuals standing and sitting with the top of the
window frame set to match the 86" overall height of a
7'-0" door frame. A 48" piece of glass will bring the
bottom of the window well below eye level and add cost
without function.
Leaded glass is the most
expensive single construction item in a room requiring
radiation protection. In many cases the glass is
specified to be 48" high without consideration of the
eye levels required for viewers. 36" and 42" high glass
is significantly more cost effective and will handle
persons of just about all heights. Glass is sold and
priced by the square inch, so the short height saves
money without sacrificing function.
