In general terms, what causes the glass to break is banging it up against something In this case, however, the banging around is happening at the particle level within the glass itself. Those molecules smack into each other hard enough and long enough to make the glass crack. Sometimes, due to temperature changes, tempered glass will shatter on its own. This is a characteristic of tempered glass. If you have/had tempered glass in your door it "could" have been caused by this. The breakage of glass impairs the safety, security and comfort of buildings. Matching and installing replacement panes of glass or glass units can also be expensive.

Annealed glass breaks into sharp - edged shards, although these may remain in the frame, depending on the glazing method. Toughened glass, when broken, disintegrates into small, relatively blunt particles (‘dice’) that will generally fall out of the frame, preventing examination of the breakage pattern. With laminated glass the broken panes will remain adhered to the laminate, enabling the breakage pattern to be examined and the cause of breakage to be identified. Whenever you find the breakage call Professional Windows Glass Repair and Services. We are far away from just one call.
