Just because you get a chip doesnt mean you need to foot the cost of getting a new windshield. Why not do a windshield repair, which uses modern technology to quickly and efficiently repair the windshield, Its a much more cost effective solution. Heres how windshield repair works.
If you think about it, youll agree that ordinary house glass is pretty amazing. Its strong, clear, and really quite affordable. Its only real drawback is that it is brittle so when it breaks it can create dangerous shards, making it a poor choice for automobile glass.
Plastic is safer, but it isnt scratch resistant so it doesnt remain clear enough for automobile glass. Auto manufacturers use tempered glass on the side windows which is much stronger than house glass and when it does break, it breaks into tiny little cubes that arent as dangerous as shards. They can still be sharp but they are far safer.
But tempered glass doesnt work for windshields. Because the windshield is constantly being hit with tiny pebbles, sand, gravel, and other road debris, tempered glass would have a very short life span. So manufacturers started using laminated glass years ago.
