True Blue Glass have touched on this subject before.

But we thought it was time to revisit after one of our clients sent through some footage that gives us definitive proof to one of the main questions we get asked in the glass industry.

Can a glass panel “just shatter” without something hitting it?

There have been plenty of home owners and tenants alike that have woken up to a shattered balcony door panel or come home from work to a pool fence spread throughout the back yard.

There a couple of reasons a panel can spontaneously shatter and they can include;

Internal defects and inclusions in the glass –  MOST COMMON

Installation damage

Binding in the frame

Inadequate glass thickness
