This damage, <strong>often imperceptible to the naked eye, can weaken the structure of the glass<\/strong>, making it susceptible to breakage even years after installation. A minimal impact or excessive pressure during installation can create micro-fractures that, <strong>over time, propagate until they cause complete breakage of the glass<\/strong>. It is therefore essential to handle glass sheets with extreme care during all stages of processing and installation.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=&#8221;paragrafo-2&#8243; el_class=&#8221;row-prodotto-ambiente&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;fsize-16&#8243;]\n<h2 id=\"2\"><span id=\"glass-cancer-a-rare-but-possible-cause\">&#8220;Glass Cancer&#8221;: A Rare But Possible Cause<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In <strong>a very small percentage of cases, estimated at less than 1%<\/strong>, glass breakage can be attributed to the so-called &#8220;glass cancer&#8221;. This phenomenon is due to the presence of nickel sulphide inclusions within the tempered glass. These micro-inclusions can remain stable for years, but, due to thermal variations or mechanical stress, they can expand and cause the glass to suddenly break. Although rare, this type of breakage <strong>is unpredictable and independent of the quality of the installation or maintenance carried out<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=&#8221;paragrafo-3&#8243; el_class=&#8221;row-prodotto-ambiente&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;fsize-16&#8243;]\n<h2 id=\"3\"><span id=\"prevention-and-maintenance-to-avoid-glass-breakage\">Prevention and maintenance to avoid glass breakage<\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">To minimize the risk of glass breakage in your shower enclosure, <strong>it is essential to take some precautions during installation and daily use<\/strong>. First of all, make sure that the assembly is carried out by qualified professionals, who carefully follow the assembly instructions and use the right tools. <strong>During daily use, avoid knocks or impacts to the glass surfaces<\/strong> and make sure that the bearings and hinges are always in perfect working order. <strong>Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the moving parts, can help keep your shower enclosure in top condition and prevent potential breakages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=&#8221;paragrafo-4&#8243; el_class=&#8221;row-prodotto-ambiente&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;fsize-16&#8243;]\n<h2 id=\"4\"><span id=\"what-to-do-if-the-glass-in-your-shower-enclosure-breaks\">What to do if the glass in your shower enclosure breaks<\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">If the glass in your shower enclosure breaks, it is important to proceed with caution to avoid injury. Using the utmost care, carefully collect the glass fragments, taking care to eliminate even the smallest splinters. Then, contact a professional to replace the damaged panel, making sure that the new glass complies with current safety standards. <strong>Relax glass is tempered, high quality, which in the event of breakage shatters into small, non-sharp pieces<\/strong>, reducing the risk of injury.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;36449&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=&#8221;paragrafo-5&#8243; el_class=&#8221;row-prodotto-ambiente&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;fsize-16&#8243;]\n<h2 id=\"6\"><span id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The breakage of the glass of the shower enclosure is an event that, in most cases, can be prevented through correct installation and adequate maintenance.
