The exact work authorized depends on the contractor credential and specialty approved by the Arkansas licensing authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePreparation should include common glass types and their applications. Candidates should become familiar with annealed glass, heat-strengthened glass, tempered glass, laminated glass, insulating glass units, patterned glass, tinted glass, coated glass, mirrors, and other products used in residential glazing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSafety glazing is an important study area. Doors, glazing near doors, shower and tub enclosures, panels near walking surfaces, guards, railings, and other hazardous locations may require glass that meets applicable safety standards. Candidates should understand how the location, dimensions, use, and surrounding construction affect the applicable requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGlazing-system preparation should include setting blocks, edge clearances, face clearances, glazing bite, gaskets, glazing tapes, sealants, wet glazing, dry glazing, perimeter seals, weather seals, drainage, weep systems, fasteners, anchors, and material compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWindow installation topics may include rough openings, measurements, shimming, leveling, anchorage, perimeter sealing, flashing, drainage, weather resistance, operation, and integration with surrounding wall construction.
