Armstrong Creek Glass Replacement – Toughened Door Explosion Emergency Repair

Late on Monday night, a homeowner in Armstrong Creek experienced a sudden and alarming glass failure when their toughened sliding door spontaneously exploded at around 10 PM. This rare type of failure is often caused by a manufacturing defect known as nickel sulphide inclusion, which can cause toughened glass to shatter without any visible impact or warning.

Our 24/7 emergency response team arrived on site within the hour—by 11 PM—to carry out a full make-safe and board-up service, securing the property. The following day, we returned to complete the full glass replacement using laminated safety glass, ensuring this issue will not happen again in the future.
