Re: HELP ! Any ideas ????
Yours truly was called out by an insurance company several months ago to investigate a spate of three picture window breakages in a prestigious seaview tower and was told that the occupants must have broken them accidentally. Upon further investigation, it was soon evident that over ten similar windows in the same tower had likewise fractured, the cause being a combination of a defective batch of glass and shoddy installation. The insurance claim was a try-on. It 's yet another example of the quality of construction over here. Don't ask me about the World Trade Centre Residences and their leaking water pipes...

Re: HELP ! Any ideas ????
I have spoke to Nakheel & to be suprise they will replace the glass subject to an engineer’s approval BUT I have to wait until Sunday as this person is currently on holiday ! He will assess the damage & arrange a replacement piece to be made. You can’t buy these off the shelf as they are toughened, double glazed & tinted. My friend at Nakheel cannot guarantee this will be a quick fix so I have somebody coming to give me a quote.
There are thunderstorms on the way & it can get very windy where i live...... Nakheel say the glass will not collapse ???? Fingers Crossed

gaffa tape the glas now, or even sellotape, will assist it greatly in staying in 1 piece. (sorry its already in more than 1 piece, ok help it to stay in the frame at least!)
you mentioned settling in passing, do nakheel honestly believe that glass shattering due to the whole frigging island sinking is normal or even acceptable?????
