What Makes Today's Car Windscreens So Safe?

The modern car windscreen is a far cry from the earlier versions, in the days when we thought we would suffocate if we travelled faster than 40 mph, and today's vehicle windscreen is about as safe as it can be. Far from merely being a sheet of glass, a state of the art auto windscreen is a technological wonder, with many layers laminated together to provide a windshield that offers 100 % visibility with total protection.

Safety is the Focus

If a vehicle is involved in a collision that impacts the windscreen, the laminated layers ensure that the glass shatters while remaining together, eliminating the danger of being cut by glass. Many years of research and development have led to a product that really does offer optimum protection for the vehicle occupants. At Wereplaceanycarglass.com, we only use manufacturer approved units when carrying out windscreen replacement, so you can be sure of the very best in safety protection and we are the go to people for cheap car glass replacement and have fully equipped mobile units that respond quickly. Rear windscreen replacement is often required, as opposite travelling vehicles launch projectiles backwards that can cause a rear windscreen to crack or shatter and we also have call outs for car door replacement, which might be due to locking oneself out of the vehicle or perhaps the victim of property theft from within the car.

Technology Development

The modern windshield is laminated with a polyvinyl butyral film that is sandwiched between two sheets of tempered glass, and the glass itself is shaped to ripple wave forms and this technology has become a lot cheaper in the past few years and computer aided machinery enables complex windscreen shaping, such as you see on the very latest hi-end models. On older models, chip repair would be a common necessity, and while windscreen chip repair is still carried out, it is a much less common occurrence as the new screens are very durable and less likely to chip.

Critical Component

Auto windscreens play a major role in protecting the vehicle's occupants in the event of a collision and a damaged unit calls for car glass replacement, or if you are lucky, windscreen chip repair will suffice. Chipped windscreen repairs might be covered by your vehicle insurance, along with auto windscreen replacement – something we specialise in.
