Need Your Auto Glass Repaired Or Replaced In Omaha, Nebraska?

Omaha can experience huge shifts in weather throughout the course of the year, and many times the unpredictable weather can leave damage on auto windshields. 1-800-Windshield exists to connect people directly to local auto glass shops that are ready to repair or replace windshields at any time. The windshield is a critical part of any modern car. It provides protection from exterior elements and helps maintain comfort. It is also a pivotal part of the overall safety system in a car. A healthy windshield is critical in reducing risks during collisions and other impacts.  Consider the following factors when debating whether or not to bring a windshield to a repair technician:

• A windshield repair job can be done in little time with modern techniques. Don't let timing stop you from getting a necessary repair done.
• Before any work is done, an expert will inspect the damage and provide a no-obligation quote. Do not let costs prohibit you from making necessary repairs.
• Safety is more than just a concern. It is the responsibility of the driver. The risks associated with a damaged windshield carry to the passengers, other drivers and any pedestrians nearby. 

Why does a windshield behave so differently from normal glass?

In an impact situation, glass normally shatters and explodes out from the point of impact. Auto glass responds differently because of the way it is constructed. A windshield is actually two layers of glass with a layer of poly-vinyl fused between them. The poly-vinyl is a thin plastic that provides a malleable structure for the much harder glass to bend around. In the event of a shatter or break, the glass stays as one constant layer and bends. This creates a strong shield between the passengers and any exterior elements forcing their way into the cabin. 

Safety glass is also found in many other places. It absorbs sound extremely well and is common in buildings where silence is necessary. When the poly-vinyl is layered many times the glass can become bullet proof, and then used in banks. It is an incredibly important innovation that can be found in all modern vehicles. 

How do I know when I need to find an expert to replace or repair my windshield?

There are several warning signs that a windshield should be taken to a specialist. Keep in mind that since auto glass is part of the safety system of a car, it should be taken in if any damage is suspected. Look for these specific things when scanning for damages:

• A chipped window can be a clear indicator that it has suffered a recent impact. Chips rarely result from weathering, but are often worsened by it. An impact means that there may be more spots that are compromised on the windshield.
• A cracked window is the clearest indicator that the window needs to be replaced urgently. The poly-vinyl layer is often the only thing keeping the window together when a crack forms. Avoid unnecessary risk and get the car worked on.
• Scratches on a window often indicate minor impacts or severe weathering incidents. Don't just ignore these as cosmetic problems, they can expand into cracks and lead to premature breaks.
