Happens more often than you might think, cold weather outside and hot inside stresses the sealed unit and it implodes. Happened to my living room window, all the glass shattered, but amazingly stayed in place in the window.
If the window is fairly new the double glazing firm should replace it free for you.

Scary ? Complain to the manufacturer, get as many photo's as you can, they should fix it.

That is what has happened Terry, almost all of it has stayed in place apart from a couple of big bits which dropped into the bath
Council house so will ring them in the morning

Has it broken like the picture of window above ? ie lots of little bits. As its a bathroom window and above the bath its in a danger zone and needs to be a toughed seal unit. If its not then i would kick up a big fuss about it. Also the one above looks to have a impact mark on it ![]() ![]()

The only time toughened glass is called for is in doors and if the bottom of the window is below 800mm from the floor.

Here's a pic of it, it does look like the outer window is shattered as well but that's just the flash of the camera

It specifies that glass below 800mm, or 1500mm next to a door (not just near a door) must be toughened, the rest is down to your choice. My living room window had to be toughened because the size of it meant the bottom of it is below 800mm, even though there's no chance of a small child running into it. There is no requirement for bathroom windows to be toughened. There is a reason to use standard plate glass in windows, in case of fire it is easier to break to get out. The only way mine could be an impact mark is if someone threw something outside and it managed to pass through the outer pane of glass before impacting the inner pane. Came home from work to find it like that, and the shattered glass is on the inside. As you can tell by the tiny fragments it was toughened glass, so any impact hard enough to shatter it would not leave every piece still in the window.
