Exploding window ??

[SebastienL]

We just had a monday morning rant from a customer. Seems somebody told her that installing graphics on the inside of a glass pane in cold weather (-25 celsius this morning) can cause the glass to "explode". Now, I'm not an installer. I've heard that tinted film can do this, but I, and the installers here, have never heard of this. Is this possible with either perforated or clear decals?

Thank you for your input!

IG(insulated glass) panels are susceptible to this. There are calcs that take into account the coverage and color to figure heat gain when using tint.

At any rate I always ask my friend the window tint expert before I do anything full coverage or dark.
