My boss went on holiday for a week and came home to a smashed glass shower door . Nobody had been in the house at all. When he spoke to his insurance the guy said that it sometimes happens . Not sure why tho . He managed to get it replaced on his insurance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

king 11,664 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 But on a more serious note Bird. There was a piece on the Jeremy vine show a while back We're people were ringing in about Argos glass garden tables exploding on there own accord. Something about the glass being under it's own pressure or something the expert reckoned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonjon79 13,340 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Here's the boring, practical post ...... It's a health and safety thing - any sheet of glass that is designed to be near a person is now designed to shatter into little bits - shower screens, tables, car windows (windscreens are slightly different), bus stops, phone boxes. But, it didn't stop me from nearly shitting myself when I once found my daughter standing on our glass topped dining table It's better than the old way where glass could break into large shards and slice people. However, having glass that will shatter into little bits means that it is less tolerant to stress. If it's surrounded by a frame that isn't exactly square or, is susceptible to expansion and contraction, it could shatter quite easily. I'm glad you suffered no more than a couple of minor cuts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
