Does window glass get brittle with age?

Yes, window glass can become brittle with age due to a combination of factors such as environmental exposure, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical stress. Over time, glass may develop micro-cracks or undergo changes in its chemical composition, making it more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, the frames and seals around the glass can deteriorate, which may further impact the glass's integrity. Regular maintenance can help prolong the lifespan of window glass.
