Automotive Glass

Automotive glass is a crucial component of vehicle safety and functionality. It includes various types of glass used in vehicles, such as windshields, side windows, and rear windows. Here are some key points about automotive glass:

  1. Types of Automotive Glass:
    • Laminated Glass: Used primarily for windshields, it consists of two layers of glass with a plastic layer in between. This design helps prevent the glass from shattering upon impact.
    • Tempered Glass: Used for side and rear windows, it is treated with heat to increase its strength. When broken, it shatters into small, blunt pieces to reduce injury risk.
  2. Repair and Replacement:
    • Windshield Repair: Small chips and cracks can often be repaired without replacing the entire windshield. This is usually quicker and more cost-effective.
    • Replacement Services: For more severe damage, the entire glass piece may need to be replaced. Many services offer mobile repair units that can come to your location.
