Need A Reliable Windshield Repair Service In Wichita, Kansas?

Auto glass damages are often stressful and can be expensive if not dealt with quickly and correctly. By filling out the form on this website or dialing 1-800-Windshield, you can expect a timely referral to an experienced auto glass technician. The windshield is a critical portion of the safety system in every car. If an airbag was broken or a seatbelt in disrepair, you would get it repaired as soon as possible. Many people learn the hard way that the windshield is just as important. An ounce of preventative care with auto glass is worth never having to worry about a shatter or blowout when you least expect it. Consider these reasons for seeking fast service with a windshield:

• Repairing a window before it breaks saves money and time in the long haul. Scratches and chips grow into cracks. What was once a simple repair can become a complete replacement.
• A damaged windshield is a risk that can easily be avoided. Don't put off a simple repair and put passengers, pedestrians and fellow drivers at risk.

Why does auto glass need a specially trained technician?

While most mechanics can spot windshield damage, a trained auto glass technician is often needed to spot damage and weak spots. Modern auto glass isn't just a simple single pane of glass. The windshield is two layers of glass that are fused together with a layer of poly-vinyl plastic in between them. This creates a middle layer of strong and flexible plastic between the two rigid sheets of glass. The poly-vinyl is invisible and it creates the effect of a single sheet of glass.

This material is found in many other items that require strong transparent windows. Helmet visors are an excellent example of another location for this type of glass. Bullet proof glass used in banks is also an example of many layers of poly-vinyl creating a very strong surface that is still transparent. There are more benefits to this material that are often overlooked:

• Safety glass provides a strong sound dampening effect. High frequency noises are lowered in volume, creating a much less distracting experience for the driver.
• Auto glass also absorbs 97% of all ultraviolet light. This makes the temperature change much slower in the cabin, making the driver more comfortable.
  

What type of windshield damage needs immediate attention?

All damage should be reviewed by a professional. There are some specific warning signs to look for though. Stay wary of any of the following issues:

• A cracked window is the clearest sign that a window needs to be repaired fast. Cracks can mean that the poly-vinyl layer has been pierced and any impact could cause a complete break in the windshield. 
• A scratched window is a sure sign that the area affected is weakened. These can often be repaired quickly and effectively but can expand into much more serious breaks.
• Chipped glass is another type of damage that can indicate a weak spot on the window. When spotted, these need to be investigated and repaired.
