How Are Windscreen / Windshield Chips Repaired?
As any driver knows, a chip or crack in the car’s windscreen / windshield can happen at any time. One minute you’re driving along happily listening to the radio and then out of nowhere, a lorry passes by on the opposite side of the road and flicks up a loose piece of tarmac that damages your once perfect windscreen / windshield. Time is of the essence - the longer stone chips in your windscreen / windshield are left, the greater the chance there is of them leading to a cracked windscreen / windshield whilst your vehicle is in motion. The safest option is to contact a windscreen repair company as soon as possible, as it is considerably cheaper and quicker to repair a windscreen / windshield rather than replace it. Act now and contact your Centre Glass to arrange immediate repairs to your windscreen / windshield. Our chipped windscreen repair service can get you back on the road as soon as possible.
The process of repairing a chip involves cleaning the damaged area on the windscreen / windshield, applying a resin to fill the chip, and then curing the resin with an ultraviolet light. The entire process can take as little as 30 minutes and is much less expensive than replacing the entire windscreen / windshield. There are various different types of chips and each one will have to be dealt with differently but the results should always be that the chip is sealed so it will not spread and the visibility should be improved by at least 70% to ensure you can drive safely, the repair should be smooth to the touch.
Act Now!!
When you see a chip, you may be able to avoid a windscreen / windshield glass repair claim if you act quickly.
Remember the rule of thumb is as follows:
A windscreen / windshield chip less than 3mm (smaller than a matchstick head) does not usually need to be repaired.
A windscreen / windshield chip less than 25mm (smaller than a £2 coin) is repairable.
A windscreen / windshield chip over 25mm is usually non-repairable.
