https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10156444244982134&id=615127133 On 19/1/2020 My friends and I were having steamboat at my place. About 30 minutes into the dinner, my dining table "EXPLODED" and the entire tempered glass top shattered into pieces. Now, steamboat lovers would know the potential devastation when a hotpot pot were to be toppled/spilled over. Now x10 of the damage because of the sudden shatter with glass flying everywhere. After the incident happened, all of us sat there in shock, and we couldn't do anything as there were glass shards and hot soup everywhere. *please take a look at the picture to visualise the amount of damage done* we immediately called the ambulance and paramedics came down to rescue us. With all my guests injured, some with cuts bigger than the size of an eye. I myself was brought to NTF for treatment of 2nd degree burns. I understand that there is a potential possibility of thermal stress that may occur on a tempered glass even though it is supposed to be tough, with 15mm of thickness. With no right or wrong answer to how much heat and duration will cause a tempered glass from shattering, we were unfortunate enough to experience this traumatic experience. Damage occurred: 1. New kitchenware 2. Lots of injury (blood spilt everywhere) 3. A&E medical attention + follow up appointments 4. Blood stain on wall and sofa 5. Blood seeping into grout (have to dig out and reapply grout as there is no way we can clean it) 6. Food 😞 It was supposed to be a joyous gathering between my friends. But it ended up being a traumatizing experience. I hope my story will be a warning towards all tempered glass top table owners. We have contacted the furniture company to ask for their course of compensation, unfortunately, the director of the company said that the best that he can do for us is to replace a brand new laminated table top for us as the base of our table is still intact. (Not even an entirely new table) - but that's besides the point - what we were looking for was minimally some responsibility on the company's end... to cover the medical bills and repair costs. Would I be able to eat in peace at my own dining table in future, wondering about the safety of the table from the same company? We shifted into our brand new home, with brand new furniture for the entire house, all ready to celebrate our first CNY at our new house. Instead, my husband and I were left speechless with all the mess left behind. When I came home from NTF last night, I broke down and cried when we opened the door. My house is in a mess and it smells like a crime scene of a murder. But well....... thankfully it was not during the actual CNY, where elderlies and babies/children could have been severely injured.

Hi all, Looking to DIY wrap my intake pipe with heat insulating material to keep the heat out of the pipe. Any recommendations? Guess it can be from kitchen or building supplies as well. Thanks

Bros, need advice on thermal wrap for the turbo pipe n manifold. Worth doing? Pros & cons? Est price & where to do? Thks! p/s know there's some thread sometime back on this but thread too much drift on that liao.

The VW Group, in association with the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Technology (IST) in Braunschweig, is researching into a windscreen that may reduce ice formation in cold climate. Researchers have introduced what they claim to be the first anti-fogging and anti-icing car windscreen. Unlike heated windows, the new glass panes make use of a physical principle that does not allow an ice layer to form in the first place, even at temperatures as low as -18 C. The secret lies in a wafer-thin transparent coating of indium tin oxide that is applied to the window and in theory, stops heat from building up and prevents or delays cooling of the glass surface to below the dew point. Volkswagen calls it a

Anyone has that ? It has this Temperature sensor "LED illumination lamp" - this "LED illumination lamp" is it also a lamp that provide lighting ? I am not so into the temperature sensor but am looking for a good ceiling fan with light. If you have it, how much you pay for it ? Thanks !!

Hi guys, Need very urgent advice. SE offered me $500 to top up for Thermal Guard top grade for MPV. Is it worth it? Need quick advice as I need to make decision within the next 1 hour.

Can those that know or have lobangs kindly advise how much it costs for thermal wraps to be done. Thanks.

Anybody using Thermal Guard? Their prices seem pretty cheap from S$190.00 onwards considering there are still giving 7 years warranty on it. http://www.thermal-guard.com/Tg.html

Anyone into the above mentioned?? Or other thread to link? Thanks.

Hey guys Has anyone tried using some form of thermal reflective wrap on their air-intake pipe(s)? I guess it is to prevent "in-coming" air from getting heated up by the engine. Comments?

Hi, may i know wat's the benefit of this? Anyone tried before? Will it make the exhuast louder? rgds

Wanted to try the thermal coating at Autofix. What exactly is the procedure like and what does it really do??? Anyone has any experience to share here and will the warranty be voided? Thanks and best regards!

Hi guys which one do you think is more effective and efficiency in reducing temp under the hood....
