Need To Replace Your Damaged Windshield In Lancaster, Pennsylvania?

Lancaster has a multitude of auto repair services, and it can sometimes feel overwhelming. Consider the following facts when windshield repair is needed:

  • Money is saved by quickly addressing glass damage. The windshield can worsen overnight taking something from a simple repair to a complete replacement.
  • The windshield is a critical part of the safety system in any car. Treat it with the urgency that you would treat a broken seatbelt or airbag.
  • When safety is an issue, it affects all other nearby vehicles, pedestrians and passengers. It is the responsibility of the driver to address problems in a timely manner.

What makes auto glass special?

Auto glass is sometimes called safety glass. Two layers of glass are bonded to a layer of poly-vinyl . This sandwich creates a window that looks like a single piece of glass. The vinyl layer provides a stretchable and strong surface for the glass to stay bonded to during a shatter situation. The this has in an impact moment is the window breaks and shatters, but still stays in a single piece. Safety glass can withstand severe impacts and still be the first layer of defense for any passengers in the automobile.

This technology is included in almost every situation where a window needs to be strengthened to protect something. Banks use multilayered poly-vinyl glass, sometimes called bullet proof glass and some helmets use the material for a visor. There are many other effects that safety glass has that are not expected, such as:

  • Safety glass can absorb up to 97% of ultraviolet radiation. The driver can enjoy a much more stable temperature as a result of this.
  • Safety glass also muffles high frequency noises. This adds additional safety by preventing distractions.

When should I bring my vehicle to a specialist to have it checked for damages?

If you think that your windshield is damaged, then you should go straight to a professional to have it evaluated. The damages that you may perceive as minor, may lead to more serious cracks and breaks. The windshield strongly benefits from preventative measures, so if you even suspect a crack or chip, take it to a repair shop. Make sure to watch for these warning signs on every windshield:

  • Chipped glass can be difficult to see sometimes. A small piece can sometimes break off the top layer weakening the glass beneath it and maybe even piercing the vinyl layer. These need to be checked and fixed in order to avoid cracks and breaks.
  • Scratched glass is often seen as soon as it appears and may be tempting to ignore. While a scratch is often just a cosmetic problem, it can often expand into a crack given time and the proper weather situations. It can save significant money to have these repaired early.
  • Cracked glass is often the last warning a driver will receive before a windshield breaks. The layer of poly-vinyl is often compromised and the window is usually severely threatened.
