South King Street, Dublin this afternoon

Sam writes;

“A section of a double glazed window fell from the top floor of the H&M store in Dublin City Center this afternoon. South King Street was closed off to pedestrians as workers tried to clean up the tiny bits of shattered glass….nobody injured.”

Heat related or something else entirely?

Anyone?

DIRECTLY RELATED: Meanwhile On Suffolk Street

    I don’t think the glass felll it shattered and the Dublin Fire Brigade did the rest.

    Something to do with expanding bits of metal in the heat that make up part of the glass. There is a building at the end of the quays that specialises in it regularly enough

    It happened sometime last year as well. Surely there’s a serious risk of injury involved.

    It shouldn’t happen, heat or no heat. And the low 20s isn’t heat FFS. This is a design and production flaw. Very poor. The engineers on that job need to explain themselves.

    I wonder if the same construction company built the State Street building down on Sir John Rogersons’ Quay. Windows be falling out of that building so much they’ve had to surround it will a protective skirt.

    …my prediction:
    -dickhead architect designed this
    -engineer objected
    -DA related to someone
    -engineer ignored

      The quality of the glass is down to the manufacturer to guarantee. Architect and engineers have little control beyond specifying. So if you MUST be so rude, dickhead manufacturer.

      Sounds like bisted didn’t get the CAO points for Architecture and had to settle for Engineering instead. Bitter bisted much?
