Curlewis Glass Replacement – Second Storey Toughened Window Failure

The Barwon Glass team recently attended an urgent weekend call-out in Curlewis after a second-storey toughened glass window spontaneously exploded. The breakage was caused by a rare defect known as nickel sulphide inclusion — a condition that can cause tempered glass to shatter unexpectedly without impact.

Our emergency glaziers arrived quickly to perform a make safe, securing the home and preventing glass hazards on the driveway and garage area below. Due to the height and access challenges, scaffold hire was arranged to safely reach the window and complete the repair to Australian Standards.

Once the new glass was manufactured, we returned for installation within a short turnaround time, replacing the failed panel with a new toughened safety glass unit to restore the home’s safety and appearance.
