Basically I have a shower with a big glass pane and I was in bed and heard a massive crash and went to look thinking someone might be breaking in but no the shower glass pane shattered itself and nothing can fall on it or anything. So I’m so confused. Any ideas?

And before anyone jumps to anything paranormal I’m sceptical of that type of stuff.

    While this isn’t about shower panes and the specific details probably don’t apply to your shower (well, hopefully), NileRed has a video demonstrating how glass that looks undamaged can have small stresses or flaws that cause it to spontaneously shatter.

            If it genuinely helped, I’m genuinely happy to have done so.

            My shower door hasn’t shattered, but it has its own problems - I’m pretty sure the previous owner of the house tried to make it luxurious but had no idea what he was doing (as is tradition). Hoping I can learn some things about glass shower panes myself!

              Yes it helped, the more I know about things like this the better it’ll help me in the future
