Architecture & glazing services
Glass failure analysis
When architectural glass breaks, the cause is often unclear. Product failure can result in disputes between manufacturers and other parties, including the end user. We can help you determine whether the glass was damaged, or whether a product defect was to blame.
We undertake a comprehensive analysis of the evidence we gather and create a detailed report. It might be necessary to complete laboratory analysis, involving on-site inspection and the removal of failure origin glass pieces.
Our report will confirm why the failure occurred and, where appropriate, what measures can be taken to prevent it from happening again. As well as specialist expertise, we guarantee independence, confidentiality, speed and flexibility.
