Last night I had my kitchen window spontaneously explode! I was standing right next to it, luckily with my back to it, next I heard what sounded like an electrical appliance blow up, I turn around and see the window all shattered and very small fragments of glass over my benchtop and my kids dinner that I was preparing.
Stegbar offer a 3 year warranty on toughened glass, which is good as the house is only 2.5 years old. But of course there is a gotcha, they need to inspect it and organise any replacement. To me this makes the warranty next to useless if the window happens to explode outside of business hours! Which mine did by a full 30 minutes. What was I expected to do, leave the window as is and hope a big wind doesn't blow what is left of it in. Great with young children. Grrr. No I did the logical thing which is get a glazier out to replace it, $430 for standard glass later which of course is not reimbursable and Stegbar don't have an after hours number.
Just hope none of the other toughened windows in the house decide it is time to explode. Or if they do they do it in the next 6 months!
