Damrongsak Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) I hope they didn't order the glass from China. There was a case in the U.S. awhile back where a high apartment building used thick tempered glass panels on the balconies. They started shattering spontaneously. Turns out there were minuscule inclusions of impurities that caused it. Apparently it happens elsewhere, too. Saw this snippet: "...It is suspected glass balustrades shatter when there is excessive nickel sulphide present in the glass and it is exposed to heat, wind or other stresses. Too much nickel sulphide is often found in glass purchased cheaply from overseas..." https://www.constructionspecifier.com/spontaneous-glass-breakage-why-it-happens-and-what-to-do-about-it/ Edited December 7, 2020 by Damrongsak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mak25 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 1,200 kg per sqm is not much. A group hug of few people and they are gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
