Just last week, Good Morning America had a story about “spontaneous breakage.” What exactly is it, and how can you prevent it? Spontaneous glass breakage is a phenomenon by which ‘toughened’ or tempered glass may spontaneously break without any apparent reason. Here are some of the causes:
- Minor damage during glass installation, whereby larger cracks radiate from the point of defect
- Thermal changes, such as extreme heat and/or cold, which can alter the integrity of the glass or cause the glass to bind to the casing
- Nickel sulfide inclusions, which are defects in the glass material
- Wind load on insufficient glass thickness
