What sets windshield glass apart from other windows?

Auto glass, sometimes called safety glass, is an ingenious invention of modern times.  It combines two layers of glass with a clear layer of vinyl that is flexible. This gives the windshield resistance to shattering and it allows it to crumple into one piece in the event of an impact. The windshield is absolutely critical to keeping exterior elements out of the passenger cabin and containing the interior so no one is ejected during an accident. 

• Safety glass also dampens sound making travel more pleasant. 
• Windshields also block up to 97 percent of ultraviolet radiation which is detrimental to health.

What type of windshield damage requires professional repair?

At any given time, a problem can arise with your windshield that needs an expert's eye. All situations are unique, but a trained auto glass technician has the experience and knowledge to contend with specific windshield issues. A good technician can points things out such as:

• Scratched glass, which can seem like nothing more than an aesthetic annoyance, can weaken the windshield and make it vulnerable to breaks. 
• Chips in the glass can also be difficult to spot. Small pieces can shatter but not break through the vinyl layer. Sometimes these chips weaken the integrity of the glass and require repair before they spread. 
• Cracked glass, which is typically the most severe type of damage, can expand across the entire surface of the windshield with little warning.  All it takes is a drastic temperature change or a drive along a bumpy roadway. 

What are my responsibilities to maintain my windshield?

Drivers must consider more than themselves. You can assume that a scratched or chipped window is no more than an unsightly affectation on the glass. But, the auto glass can be compromised. If a shatter situation occurs, the safety of anyone near the vehicle is at risk. Simple steps must be taken to minimize risk and keeping your windshield in good condition is one of the simplest things that all drivers are expected maintain. In the event that law enforcement sees an unsafe windshield, they will give the driver a citiation for driving an unsafe automobile.
