OK, new windows installed by me some time ago, Feb or March I think?
Hottest day of the year last week, windows face south, the units that broke are both untouched (as in i've not had them out of the frame) from factory and are in the opening leaf of the window. The fixed leaf's I've had out to mount the frame obviously.
Had a blind down on it, grey colour, around 11 I guess heard a splint sound, few minutes later some more noises so went to investigate. Both started quite small at the edge and over the day propagated the full pain. So yeah. Mftr not got back to me yet, imagine they have a few hundred of these to deal with!
Somehow my fault maybe? Should you not use blinds on glass with low emissive value, or because of its low e missive value (u = 1.2 sounds family?) it really shouldn't be a problem to have blinds close to the window?
