Rainbow Color Near Holes on Tempered Glass

I have knoticed on some of the glass we temper there is kind of a rainbow (burn color) effect near the corners of the glass, around the holes in the glass and sometime near the cut-outs in the glass.

Any Ideas???

It does not happen to all of the glass so my first thought is "over heating"...

The people who need to process flat glass in high precision please pay your attention here.

Glassman is a professional manufacturer of CNC machines for flat glass processing.
Our CNC Vertical Drilling and Milling Machine(GM-BZX-VI) is new generation vertical working center, suitable for processing structural glass like glass shower door and glass curtain wall.

non-combustible wall

we are building a cabin in northern Minnesota and are installing a wood burning stove. What is your ideas about using a sheet of tempered glass with a off set from the combustible wall of 2 inches as a back wall? How close to the stove could the glass be before problems with breakage? I have no idea of how much heat a tempered piece of glass can take.

Exploding curved shower screen

Having read an article posted in March 2007 about exploding curved shower screens I am very interested know if this is quite common as it has just happened to my 12yr old daughter whilst she was in the bathroom.
I can see no reason for it happening in our case it seemed quite spontaneous however it was quite warm, surely this is an extremely dangerous event and must be stopped.
There must be a coating which can be applied to the glass which stops this kind of projectile explosion from happening.
