Shower Door

[slowmotion]

I had a 6" by 18" piece of 3/8" toughened glass at work. It was used for sharpening chisels with wet and dry abrasive paper placed on the top. One day, I slid it into the floor of the cargo compartment of my van. An edge of it must have hit something pointy because it exploded noisily, leaving a heap of granulated glass cubes. I was amazed.

I was actually wondering if this thread was a discussion of the modern equivalent of
'cellar door', said by someone somewhere, probably about a hundred years ago, to be the 'perfect' phrase... Or something.

You can hit the face of 10mm toughened glass with a hammer & I doubt you'd break however hard you try. The edges & corners are very vulnerable, see testing video from Bohle.

Had an oven door outer glass shatter once for absolutely no reason.

Also had a patio door shatter whilst I was strumming a lawn edge so I reckon the strimmer must have sent a small stone flying.

We had that with the office door, stone from a lawnmower, started off near one corner and spread across it like a wave a crackling and crazing

No it was definitely the estate maintenance bloke and his lawnmower. They paid for a new glass panel.
