Technical Investigation of Glass Breakage

Glazing damage can occur for many reasons, including its exposure to the environment or misuse, or when a defect only becomes apparent many years after installation. We’ve investigated glazing damage cases caused by: 

• Impact
• Installation
• Maintenance
• Thermal stresses
• Manufacturing issues such as Nickel Sulphide inclusions

We analyse product specifications, load paths, material behaviour, environmental conditions, interface features and fracture patterns, and organise laboratory testing if needed.
