CAR GLASS REPLACEMENT
For the layman, car glass is a broad term that includes the windshield, windows, and front, rear, and door glasses. They are all the same. An expert will tell you this is not true. The windshield has few things in common with the rest of the glass used in your car, and understanding this difference is important for every car owner.
The windshield Solution is made of laminated safety glass – a specially constructed glass that provides optimum safety to the driver and passengers in a crash. Laminated glass comprises of two separate pieces of glass bonded together with a layer of poly-vinyl-butyrl (PVB) sandwiched between them.
Usually, when there is a collision or a small object – such as a rock or a pebble – strikes the windshield, it causes damage only to the first layer of glass. Even if the impact is considerably severe and causes the glass to shatter, the PVB layer prevents the shards from flying into your face.
When the damage is slight, it is possible for Windshield Solution to repair it. However, in more extreme cases, when the vehicle safety is compromised, car glass replacement is a better solution.
When it comes to the rear and side windows of your car, they are not made of laminated glass. Here curved tempered glass is used. Tempered glass is made by heating ordinary glass and then rapidly cooling it, which makes it 10 times stronger than regular window glass.
Upon impact, tempered glass shatters, but not into large shards of glass that could cause harm. What you get is very small pieces of glass that have a dull edge. However, once the side or rear window breaks, it’s impossible to repair. Car glass replacement is the only alternative available to you.
Satisfying and Fast Installation
Car glass replacement is a crucial service aimed at restoring the integrity, safety, and functionality of a vehicle’s glass components. Whether it’s the windshield, side windows, or rear windshield, damage to car glass can compromise the safety of the driver and passengers. Here’s an overview of the car glass replacement process:
1. Assessment and Inspection:
A skilled technician assesses the extent of the damage. This includes evaluating the size, location, and type of damage to determine whether repair or replacement is necessary.
2. Choosing Replacement Glass:
If replacement is required, the technician selects the appropriate replacement glass based on the make and model of the vehicle. High-quality materials meeting safety standards are essential.
3. Removal of Damaged Glass:
The damaged or shattered glass is carefully removed from the vehicle. Precision is crucial to avoid further damage to the car’s frame or surrounding components.
4. Preparation of the Surface:
The area where the new glass will be installed is thoroughly cleaned and prepared. Any debris, adhesive, or old molding is removed to ensure a smooth and secure fit for the replacement glass.
5. Installation of New Glass:
The new glass is precisely fitted into place, ensuring proper alignment and sealing. Advanced adhesives and techniques are often used to secure the glass in position.
6. Quality Checks:
The installed glass undergoes thorough quality checks to ensure it meets safety standards. This may include checks for leaks, proper fit, and adherence to industry specifications.
7. Clean-Up and Final Inspection:
The vehicle is cleaned to remove any residual materials from the installation process. A final inspection is conducted to verify that the replacement glass is securely in place and that there are no issues affecting the vehicle’s safety or functionality.
8. Post-Installation Guidelines:
The technician provides the vehicle owner with post-installation guidelines. These may include recommendations for avoiding washing the car for a specific period, refraining from driving at high speeds, or other precautions to ensure the adhesive sets properly.
Car glass replacement is essential not only for aesthetic reasons but, more importantly, for the safety of the driver and passengers. It’s crucial to seek the services of experienced and reputable professionals who use high-quality materials and adhere to industry standards for a reliable and secure replacement.
