How did it happen? I can only imagine you tapped the sharp corner of the scraper on the glass. I had no idea this could happen.
Sharkstar-
I’d finished repairing the window
(It was a bit rotten) and put the huge DG unit in - a tricky 2 man job with geckos.
I decided to scrape some of the loose paint off outside and the scraper slipped and popped the glass (top middle - you can sort of see the cracks radiated out from there)
It was just a hard tap.
One of those ‘can we just rewind and take that again?’ moments.

It looked so cool, and made an amazing noise and carried on crackling for a few hours.
It was a total bummer though, I’d just rebuilt the window frame and cill from the transom down - the DG unit was a couple hundred quid.
Years ago I worked for a design/build company in the States, our major client was Urban Outfitters, we developed a triple laminated glass for their store windows - the middle layer got shattered with a punch so it basically looked like that ^^
