Case Study: Enhancing a Golf Course Home with Tempered Glass

A new home on a scenic golf course in Austin, Texas, offered breathtaking views and easy access to the fairways—a dream come true. However, just weeks after moving in, the homeowners experienced an unexpected challenge when an errant golf ball shattered their living room window.

The Challenge

Glass Rehab LLC received a call from homeowners on the back nine after a stray golf ball struck and broke their living room window while their young grandchildren were visiting. The incident created a mess, raised safety concerns, and left them worried about future breakages. They needed a durable solution that would protect their home while preserving their beautiful golf course view.

The Solution: Upgrading to Tempered Glass

After consulting with Glass Rehab LLC, the homeowners chose to upgrade their golf course-facing windows to IG 270 tempered glass, which is up to five times stronger than standard glass. This upgrade not only increased durability but also ensured that if breakage occurred, the glass would fracture into small, less hazardous pieces rather than sharp shards.

Glass Rehab LLC responded promptly, replacing the damaged window and upgrading the others within just five days. The homeowners were thrilled with the fast turnaround and professional service. Since the installation, their home has withstood additional golf ball impacts without any further damage, giving them peace of mind.

The Outcome: Safety, Security, and Peace of Mind

The customer now feel more secure, knowing their windows are significantly more resistant to breakage. They continue to enjoy their stunning golf course views—without the constant worry of shattered glass disrupting their home.

Disclaimer

While tempered glass greatly enhances durability and safety, no glass is completely unbreakable. With enough force, any window can break. However, tempered glass remains a safer and more impact-resistant option compared to standard glass.
