worldwidewebs Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Totally gutted. Through sheer stupidity I've managed to smash one of our Internorm triple glazed panels - I'm trying to numb the pain with alcohol but it's not having much effect. Please someone, tell me it's an easy fix and I shouldn't fret about it. The OH is saying not to worry but I can't help but... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennentslager Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 There is nothing that can't be fixed... It'll be better tomorrow...enjoy the booze in the meantime I'm sure it's just a case of slotting in new glass from your local manufacturers ???

My concern is from OUR local supplier it would be vastly inferior glass units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Construction Channel Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 You’ll be fine, Iv broken loads of glass, it’s relatively cheap to replace just be careful removing the beads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it'll be easy, quick or cheap unfortunately. And I can see the lead time being 'weeks' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Construction Channel Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Fully glued in or just security tape? I can’t imagine the surround it with glue, security tape is a pain but you can get it off once the glass is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 If you have a hole and feel a bit open, go and buy a sheet of glass bigger than the hole and silicone it on while you wait for another. I ruined a brand new window with brick acid, i was washing the new concrete floor to provide a good key and splashed it up the glass, never noticed for a couple of weeks.

Bitpipe Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Quite impressed you smashed a triple glazed unit! We had a Gaulhofer glazed exterior door and it was delivered without frosted glass - a new glazed unit was shipped out and replaced by the installer with no issues. I'm sure Internorm can sort this - it must happen all the time in delivery, installation etc. Just put Eurovision on - will erase anything from your mind after a few mins.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldwidewebs Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 I'd just spent the day clearing long grass with the brush cutter and was just 'finishing off' by tidying a few bits near the house when it threw a stone out, straight at the glass. I should have swapped for the strimmer - I'm an idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
