Two Kids Play Fighting, One Living Room Window
On this page
Two young kids were play fighting at a home in Barwon Heads and one was accidentally pushed into the living room window. It shattered.
Nobody was seriously hurt, which is largely luck. It is also the single most common way household glass breaks, and it is worth saying out loud because most people assume glass breaks from break-ins or storms.
Secured first, then replaced
Our glaziers attended promptly, secured the area and carried out a full window replacement, finishing the job cleanly and leaving the family with a new window rather than a boarded opening.
Why this one is worth paying attention to
A living room window is a human-impact area under AS1288. If a house still has older non-safety glass in those positions, a shove during a game is enough to turn a pane into large sharp shards at child height.
All glass we install meets AS1288, which in this position means it either holds together when broken or breaks into blunt fragments instead of blades.
The job in short
- Site: Family home, Barwon Heads
- Cause: Child pushed into a living room window during play
- Response: Prompt attendance, area secured, full replacement completed
- Compliance: AS1288
