Driving Around Doylestown With A Damaged Windshield?

When a massive storm sweeps up the coastline and passes through Doylestown dropping debris everywhere, it can damage your windshield.  When damages like this spring up, always call 1-800-Windshield or fill out the form on this website to get a free estimate on any work that needs to be done. Auto glass is a critical part of the safety system on any vehicle. The strength of the windshield reduces risk on all the passengers and also adds comfort to the experience. In many cases, windshield repair is questionable, but keep these facts in mind when debating whether to seek a professional's help:

• Windshield repairs are very fast with modern techniques. The time spent without your car can be kept to a minimum, especially when repairs are brought to experts in a timely manner.
• Auto glass damages are especially susceptible to weathering. If a customer takes a long time to bring a windshield to a glass shop, the problem may worsen and become a much bigger bill.
• 1-800-Windshield affiliates will always give a no obligation quote on any work before it is done. 

How is a modern windshield constructed?

Two pieces of glass have a piece of poly-vinyl laminate sandwiched in between them. This inner plastic layer creates a malleable structure that the window can bend with when impacted. This allows glass to break, but still remain a solid sheet when impacted. The safety benefits of this type of glass are incredible which is why this type of glass is commonly referred to as safety glass. The same technology is used with helmet visors and bullet proof glass. There are also two very distinct benefits that safety glass has over normal windows:

• Safety glass can absorb much of the high frequency sound that comes at it. This makes the passenger cabin a much quieter place and reduces risk of distraction.
• Up to 97% of all ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by safety glass. This reduces the risk of sunburn on long drives, and helps maintain the temperature of the passenger cabin.

What damages should I bring straight to a repair shop?

• Cracked windshields are the most obvious repair that is needed. These can expand in a short amount of time from temperature changes and precipitation. They can also be risks for shattering and blowouts.
• Chipped windows are usually the result of an impact and are weak spots where windshields can begin to weather further.
• Scratched windows are often the result of minor impacts and weathering events. They may start as cosmetic issues, but if left alone can expand into cracks and expensive damages.
