What makes auto windshields different?

Auto glass, otherwise known as safety glass, is the same technology behind bullet proof windows and helmet visors. A clear layer of poly-vinyl is sandwiched between two layers of glass. The end product is a rigid structure that does not break apart and shatter upon impact. And, it will not explode away from the center of impact. The benefits of this include: 

• Windshields remain as one sheet even in the event of serious crash. This sheet also prevents anything from entering the passenger cabin and prevents passengers from being thrown outside the vehicle.
• Shards and sharp chunks of loose glass which are extremely dangerous are kept at a minimum. 
• Safety glass also absorbs up to 97% of dangerous ultraviolet radiation. Passengers stay much more comfortable.
• Safety glass dampens the effect of high frequency sounds and reduces noises to prevent drivers from unecessary distractions. 

How do I know when I really need to repair my windshield? 

There are several signs to look when considering when to repair or replace your windshield. When auto glass has damage, a driver should consider safety as the primary concern.  Look for these signs if you are on the fence about your windshield: 

• When a crack shows up in the glass, the layer of sandwiched vinyle may be torn. Bring it in for assessment to see if a repair can be done or if a complete replacement is necessary.
• Scratched glass is also something that can impede the integrity of the glass. Scratches. These damages, which indicate an area that is weakened, can be fixed with light repair. 
• Chipped windows can quickly become a significant crack so don't wait. These need to be inspected quickly in order to prevent further and more costly damage.
