Volvobrick Supersonic January 27, 2015 Share January 27, 2015 Hard to tell if tempered glass or fake. Contractors can cut costs by installing normal glass. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamani 3rd Gear January 27, 2015 Share January 27, 2015 Nowadays almost all new condos or most all properties use glass - gone are the good old days of shower curtains ..... And getting really cramped up ... RIP to the victim ... Tempered glass should not break on human body impact ..unless he slipped and hit the glass so heavily until the hinges or supports or the U frame gave way and the holes cracked the glass... Is a possibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a possibility. Tampered glass can be shattered easily. Thats why I tell my kids never slam the shower screen door. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic January 28, 2015 Share January 28, 2015 (edited) For dining table, always use solid wood or marble (if want atas feel) in round or rectangular shape. I won't even use glass table top for my computer/laptop/work desk. Nearly happened me when in NZ.... Their hot and cold water diff tap..... First time there Not sure how it work...
