What is the standard height for a kick plate in glazing installations?

The standard height for a kick plate in glazing installations is typically 10 inches. This height is designed to provide adequate protection for the lower portion of doors from damage caused by foot traffic or equipment. Having a kick plate at this standard height helps to prevent wear and tear on the door surface, especially in high-traffic areas.

This dimension is also widely accepted in building codes and industry practices, ensuring consistency and quality across installations. Understanding this standard is essential for any glazing contractor, as it informs not only the installation process but also maintenance considerations for the longevity of the glazing work.
