I had new windows fitted some10 years ago and all was fine until 3 years ago when various fanlight windows have shattered. It is always the outside glass.The units have a tulip design leaded pattern and I wondered could the lead be stopping natural expansion and contraction due to heat / cold. They were fine for 7 years and now we have replaced at least 8 units and a further 3 broke over Xmas. Is this common? There does not appear to be any movement in the house.
