It is easy to underestimate the importance of a windshield in good condition, but the reality is that the windshield is a critical safety feature of modern cars. A window in disrepair is a risk to passengers, pedestrians and other vehicles. In the event of a collision, the windshield plays a key role in keeping the interior and exterior separate.

How is modern auto glass any different from normal windows?

Auto glass is commonly referred to as safety glass or laminated glass.

• The windshield is composed of two layers of glass that are bound to both sides of a poly-vinyl layer. The effect of having an internal layer of plastic is a severe strengthening of the structure of the glass.
• An impact on safety glass is very different from normal glass. If the windshield hits its shatter point, it will crack and shatter, but stay bound to the interior plastic layer.
• The plastic allows the window to flex around the collision point and avoid a complete break. This is an incredibly important safety feature that helps to keep a barrier between the outside and inside at all times.
• Any damage can compromise that structural feature and add risk. 

There are also unnoticed features that add significantly to the comfort of the car:

• Ultraviolet light is almost completely blocked by laminated glass. Nearly 97% of it never enters the passenger cabin. This prevents sunburn and helps moderate the temperature.
• High frequency sound is also absorbed at an increased level by laminated glass. This can minimize disturbance and reduce risk for drivers.
