Question... About a mirror

[Guest]

Well we have a new closet for the bathroom, we assembled it today.

But what happened just now? I was shaving and the mirror suddenly cracked, just a loud sound of it cracking.

I looked, no screws that were protruding that caused it to break or anything, just suddenly cracked.

I looked it up and one guy wrote it can happen if the temperature changes too quickly?

This really sucks for my mom who bought it

How can this happen? It's brand new and we had an older closet from the exact same brand in the bathroom with a mirror too, no problems.

Edit : it seems it wasn't sudden temperature changes but thermal expansion

same happened here once, it can be caused by stress within the glass causing a sudden crack.  Poor manufacturing can cause that, but every glass (panel?) is different

[Prikk]

Installed too tight maybe? when you shower or w/e and things got warmer it expanded and broke.

Well no because the mirror was already on the panel.

Maybe, but we had a mirror from the same brand/closet and it was even closer to the shower.

Temperature doesn't sound likely unless it's a uneven piece of glass.  If the mirror has a slight bend, or and fulcrum of stress, this can happen easily.

Well I guess it's the stress thing or bend thing then.

Either way, it's unfair.

I will see about the warranty.

Sounds like a ghost wanted to fuck with ya lol.

Call exorcist...

 

Thermal expansion is the most likely cause...

Try getting a frameless mirror maybe?

Yah I would think it's a problem with either the mirror or the installation. I don't know that much about it honestly.

Is 'Yah' a Canadian thing? Sounds so weird instead of Yeah

No, no I'm not from the hockey zone. It's just lazier Yeah. Though where I live we do tend to say some of the same thing Canadians do. Pop instead of soda, ect.

In Indiana we condense terms. For example: 

I'm going to 

becomes 

I'm gonna

becomes

Imona

 

Imona is a word here.

What the hell

Are you incredibly ugly, perhaps? Maybe that cracked the mirror.

I wouldn't know. Or, plot twist, maybe he's so damn sexy he saw himself and got such a raging hard on that he broke the mirror. 

[Guest]

No I wasn't looking into it, it stands on the side, so that can't be it.

[lutewan]

or u might be really ugly

See post above you

This happened to me in my old house when I was taking a slightly colder than scalding shower in winter with the window open.

See? It could be temps.

[Guest]

The cold ambient temp with the hot water was amazing, I might add.

Luckily you aren't glass, you would break!

[Guest]

I hit my head on a shelf in that bathroom when I bent over to pick up my jeans after I got out of the shower, and the large picture on the shelf fell over when I was still standing up and broke over my head. Glass fell all over me and I got a few cuts. Not my best moment.

You aren't made to tank that damage, stop pulling aggro from furniture.
