shattered glass in shower stall

very odd case....woke up this morning to the sound of a loud POP coming from the bathroom. went in and found a glass wall of the shower stall had, somehow, shattered, almost like someone had thrown a baseball against it.

need to replace it, of course. any tricks or hints? how to measure? metal frame is held together by phillips screws so will take that apart. any sources for getting a piece of safety glass? i live in the dallas area....

thanks all.

they're tempered. any stress at all, including some that may have been built-in during manufacturing or even a wall settling and tweaking the pane, can make it pop like that.

you should call someone from your yellow pages. they'll come out, measure it, get the glass tempered, and install it. if they screw it up, it's their dime. if you do it and are off in the least, tempered glass can't be recut.

You probably have hard water. You should get that fixed too.
