Part 7/10:
Ensuring edges are cushioned and not in contact with hard surfaces during installation
Using professional, trained installers instead of amateurs
Regular Inspection and Maintenance
Inspect glass panels regularly for chips, cracks, or chips. When detected early, cracked or chipped glass should be replaced immediately. For existing installations like shower doors, applying safety film can hold glass shards together should it shatter.
Technological Innovations in Glass Inspection
Smart Robots for Crack Detection
Innovative robots equipped with AI, ultrasound, and thermal imaging are being developed to scan and detect invisible micro cracks in glass structures. These systems can operate continuously, providing early warning before a failure occurs.
