Why is your car windscreen important?

Isn’t it frustrating to have your car windscreen suddenly damaged as you’re going on a road trip?

We understand — nothing is more annoying than having your day ruined by something as simple as a scratch or a chip on your car windscreen!

Most car owners have been in a situation where they have found their car windscreen to be damaged and will instantly be on the lookout for chip windscreen repair when that happens.

Firstly, why is your car windscreen important?

Before we get into your car’s windscreen damage and the types of windscreen chips, it’s important to understand more about your car windscreen’s importance.

You might think your car’s windscreen only serves as a way for you to look at the road ahead.

However, your car’s windscreen also provides structural integrity and acts as a supportive beam. It upholds your car frame and prevents the car roof from caving in and crushing you and your fellow passengers in a rollover.

In the event of a collision, your windscreen’s multi-layered laminated glass also protects the occupants in the car from any harsh impact.

Lastly, the windscreen also helps in the proper deployment of the front airbags. If you get caught in an accident; and you aren’t wearing a seatbelt, the windscreen stops you from being thrown out of the car!

 

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.
