I've just asembled a new conservatory at the back of my house. Adjoining it is an old ground floor extension that I'm tidying up, which includes putting on a new roof. The old roof was made of corrugated metal sheets nailed down onto the supporting battens. The nails were the ribbed type that don't come out easily (good idea for a roof), so I had to grind them all off. It was a slightly breezy day when I took the old roof off and fitted the new one. The job is now complete and I'm quite happy with the the new roof. However, while cleaning the windows in the conservatory today, I noticed hundreds of tiny brown blemishes on the outer glass panels. I thought they were bugs. On close inspection it turned out that they are rusted metal shards from my grinding. Looking back at the day I did the grinding, I am sure that the sparks were not going near the conservatory but I now realise that I could only see the yellow hot metal shards and not the "cooled down but still hot enough to melt glass, shards.", which were obviously blown onto my conservatory. At the time, I had the manufacturers protective tape on the upvc frames so they were protected.
2 french doors and 3 glazed units (2 panels in each unit) are affected.
