What is auto glass and when should I replace it?

The modern windshield is much more than a single pane of glass. Invented in the 1920's, safety glass is two layers of glass sandwiching a layer of poly-vinyl. The effect the vinyl has is to strengthen the glass and provide a bendable material that holds together during impact situations. This means that safety glass is much more durable than most of the glass we find our household appliances. In the unexpected situation of a severe break, the glass will hold together in a single sheet, preventing it from shattering into the cabin. Some other bonuses of having such a specific type of glass include:

• Absorption of 97% of ultraviolet light, causing the cabin of the vehicle to maintain a much more normal temperature. 
• A strong sound dampening effect, especially at high frequencies. This means the driver is less likely to be distracted or surprised by the noise of the road.

How do I know I need a professional to help me with this repair?

Each situation is different, but when auto glass is the issue that means that safety is also a question. When safety is a concern, a professional needs to be sought out. All businesses that are included in the network of 1-800-Windshield provide free estimates, so there is no reason to avoid having the damage appraised. It may not be a serious problem, but the expenditure of time for peace of mind is a good trade. The issues that technicians look for often include:

• Chipped glass can indicate a pierced vinyl layer which can eventually expand to a crack or lead to a full break of the windshield. These can be difficult to spot and should be taken to a repair shop.
• Cracked glass is usually caused by weathering or impacts. These can expand at a rapid pace from something as little as temperature change. It is the most serious of issues and may end up needing complete replacement.
• Scratched glass is often disregarded as a cosmetic issue and something that doesn't need repair. The exact opposite is true in most situations though. Scratched glass can quickly expand into cracks, but can often be easily fixed at little cost if dealt with early.
