It would be impractical if they couldn't.

*Had exactly the same problem*. Sitting there minding my own business when there was a loud bang and glass pieces were showering onto the floor. The outer pane was still intact fortunately as it rained the next day. Waiting for a replacement.

I've had that happen too. Inner pane so no bird strike or anything.

Pressure change in the gap due to weather change.

I hope that doesn't mean all the other panels in my conservatory are going to spontaneously craze!

Edit: having read the article, it probably doesn't.

This might assist you with posting to a newsgroup, albeit through a website:

- If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just enough text of the original to give a context.

It will be a true miracle if 'Brian', assuming he's a real person, that he actually replies to this thread!

Its a common theme to see just first names from the 'dark side'.

Hey you folks are improving, that post was from only 5 years ago.
