How much time do you spend in your vehicle every day? Thirty minutes? An hour?
Can you imagine having to put on sunscreen just to drive around town? You don’t because your windshield protects you from the sun.
Windshield glass is actually made of a piece of plastic sandwiched between two pieces of laminated glass. In an article in The Globe and Mail, the vice-president of product engineering and development at Guardian Automotive, a company that produces original equipment windshields, explains that the plastic is treated with UV inhibitors that protect it and – and you – from UV rays.
The fact that your windshield protects you from the sun might seem like a little thing, but the composition of the glass is a very important consideration when you’re choosing a windshield repair and replacement company. Some windshield replacement companies may not use quality original equipment glass, so do your research before you choose a shop to work on your vehicle.
