You might think I'm fussing - but we had a nasty case of another kid in
the village feel through some annealed glass (greenhouse type thin to be

now I have, it would be sensible to remedy or mitigate...


It isn't fussing. My mother fell through some secondary double glazing
on the French windows in our living room (not fitted by me, I might add)
which turned out to be plain glass. Fortunately she went through
backwards,
so just needed some stitches in her bum. If she'd fallen through
forwards
with her arms outstretched I shudder to think what might have happened.

I replaced all of the secondary glazing.



Ow.

Can anyone confirm if Safety Tempered glass = "toughened"?

That means my side doors are OK

Just the front door to worry about.


Are there any BS numbers / kite marks on the glass?
