Role of insurance in windscreen repair and replacement
Car Windscreen Repairs Brisbane, Ipswich & Brisbane Southside
In the bustling streets of Brisbane, where traffic can be relentless, maintaining the integrity of your car’s windshield becomes of utmost importance. At Rapid Response Auto-Glass, we receive countless queries about the best type of glass for windshields. Therefore, we feel compelled to clarify the differences between the two common types: laminated and tempered glass.
Most car windshields use laminated glass, constructed by sandwiching a thin layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) between two layers of glass. When an object hits the windshield, the glass may crack, but the shards stick to the PVB layer, preventing dangerous projectiles from entering the vehicle. Additionally, this PVB interlayer provides the occupants with a degree of UV protection and noise reduction, contributing to a safer, quieter ride on Brisbane’s busy roads.
Tempered glass, frequently used in side and rear windows, undergoes a heat treatment that significantly strengthens it. Upon impact, tempered glass shatters into small, pebble-like pieces, rather than sharp shards. This is a safety measure designed to minimise potential injuries. However, a disadvantage of this glass is that once it’s damaged, it must be replaced entirely – unlike laminated glass, which can often be repaired.
The two types of glass respond differently to damage. Due to its layered structure, laminated glass tends to confine cracks within the impact zone, offering the possibility of repair. Conversely, tempered glass is engineered to fail entirely upon severe impact, ensuring safety, but necessitating complete replacement.
