Auto Glass
In the automotive industry one of the most commonly replaced or repaired part is a damaged front windscreen. With poorly maintained roads damage to glass windscreens is an all to frequent occurrence which affects most motorists. This unwanted experience occurs unexpectedly and all too often.
Theft and break-ins are the next major cause of auto glass damage especially in South Africa where crime is rampant and on an unacceptably high level. However measures can be taken to thwart criminal elements by minimizing damage and at the same time giving protection against bodily harm. These include the fitting of protective safety films onto the windscreens and door glass which is also known as “ smash and grab” and window tinting film, obscuring both the driver and contents of the vehicle toughening the glass by up to 70%.
Auto glass repair and replacement services are available to more than 80 percent of South African drivers in all provinces. In an emergency situation the easiest method to replace auto glass is to have a certified technician from a reputable glass fitment company come to your home or office. When a windscreen or door glass breaks it is imperative to have it repaired or replaced as soon as possible as cracked or damaged glass weakens rapidly and often expands. The cracks that are a result of this weakening of damaged glass obstruct visibility endangering not only the driver but other motorists as well as pedestrians.
Auto glass has continued to improve since its introduction in the 1920’s to protect drivers from being exposed to the elements as well as road debris. Automotive engineers have been using different combinations of sheet, tempered and plate glass to improve strength, reduce the effect of glare and make the manufacture of auto glass more cost-effective. Recent development in chemical compounds have been used to improve both the properties of the glass itself as well as the plastic laminates creating even more transparent glass and at the same time making it more shatter resistant. Improvements in this field have also resulted in reducing dangerous glare both at night from the more powerful xenon headlights available as daylight.
