Tempered glass is the standard for balcony doors, large windows, and areas prone to impact. Its distinguishing feature is that when it breaks, it shatters into thousands of small, blunt fragments that do not cause serious cuts, unlike conventional glass which breaks into large, sharp shards. Spanish regulations (CTE) require tempered or laminated safety glass in all passageways and at heights below 90 cm. If your broken glass was conventional single-pane, we will replace it with tempered glass to comply with regulations.

If the situation is urgent, we can provide a temporary board or film the same day until the new glass arrives. The three most common causes we see are. First, strong winds that slam sliding doors shut violently, cracking the tempered glass. This particularly happens in windy areas like La Mata, Punta Prima, or Pilar de la Horadada when doors are left ajar. Second, children's balls or accidental knocks against ground-floor or terrace windows. Third, attempted burglaries where the thief breaks a balcony door to gain entry, which is relatively rare in the area but does occur. The correct procedure when glass breaks has three steps. First, immediately remove all loose fragments to prevent accidents, which is especially important if you have children or pets at home. Second, temporarily cover the opening with thick plastic sheeting or a board if the area is accessible from the outside and there's a risk of intrusion. Third, call a glazier as soon as possible for measurements and replacement. The urgency depends on whether the area is watertight or not. A window facing an internal courtyard can wait 2-3 days without issue. An exterior balcony or window at risk of rain ingress or theft needs urgent replacement.
