What is a windshield made of?

The modern windshield is an invention that has been in use for nearly a century now. Two panes of glass are sandwiched to a central layer of poly-vinyl plastic, creating a composite that has the rigidity of glass and the malleability of plastic. In the event of an impact or collision, a modern windshield can bend and flex around the point of greatest tension. This helps to maintain a shield between the exterior and interior of a car which reduces risk of injury and damage to a vehicle. This glass is often called safety glass or laminated glass, and is used in many other applications. Bullet proof glass is a much stronger version of the same material used in windshields. Consider these benefits of using safety glass in cars:

• The windshield is capable of breaking in many stages instead of shattering on first impact. This gives the driver an opportunity to seek assistance or repair.
• Laminated glass can absorb much of the high frequency sound thrown at it. This can be critical while driving through Seaford and trying to stay focused.
• The poly-vinyl layer in windshields absorbs up to 97% of all ultraviolet light. This helps to regulate the temperature inside the car and can prevent sunburns from long drives.

What damages warrant bringing a car directly to an auto glass shop?

Every situation is different when damaged glass is the primary concern. The following issues are common red flags that need to be brought to an expert:

• Cracked windshields are the clearest indication that there has been a serious impact or weathering event.
• Chipped glass is usually a result of a smaller impact but needs to be taken just as seriously as other damages. This can weaken an area and set it up for future failures.
• Scratched glass is often only cosmetic, but can be a focal point for future damages if not repaired early.
