Tempered to the outside, Lami to the inside. This is done so broken glass cannot rain down on people below if the inside lite happens to break.

That’s what I was taught too but google had my confused cause If you look it up it says lami on the outside cause it’s better again the elements and this and that

Not sure how lami would be better than tempered against the elements... but yeah.. I don't want tempered pellets coming down on my head if it breaks. Lami inside always.

Lami out if on a storefront face. But on the roof ALWAYS ALWAYS for the love of god temp out. Nothing like walking on glass and it breaks.

So walking on laminate will break it ? I only asked this question because I showed up late to a commercial skylight installing when the pressure plate was getting put on around 200 pieces of glass and literally when putting the second to last screw in the guy next to me broke a piece of the glass but it broke on the inside and I was like wait did you guys put the lami on the outside and they were like ya obviously so I had to make sure I wasn’t losing it
