Chips & Cracks

Your heart sinks when an inch-sized crack appears in the upper right-hand corner of your windshield. Most damaged or chipped glass can be fixed, and it is much less expensive than replacing the entire front glass.

To repair these small areas the first step is to clean any resin that is left on the glass surface. Then an injector tool is secured around the region and is cycled between pressure and vacuum to inject a clear, UV-curable glass resin into the damaged layer of your windshield. Once the resin has been injected it is then cured/hardened by a UV light. This process restores the structure and appearance of the glass.

The next step is to determine the size and size of the damage. The smallest surface pits will not penetrate the middle plastic layer and can be left to their own devices However, most pits have to be repaired because they are prone to spreading into an afloater crack. A floater is a small crack that can occur anywhere on the windshield. It can quickly spread. These cracks need to be fixed as soon you notice them.

Weld & Grind Spatter

This can also prevent dust from getting blown onto the glass. Many contractors wear masks to shield themselves when grinding or welding near to a surface.

Cracks and chips can refract the light and cause you to become blind when driving and lose control of your car.

The type of crack is created when a hard object, such as a road hazard rock comes directly into contact with the windshield. This type of injury can be repaired by a certified technician who takes off the glass's outer layer and fills the damaged area. Be quick as the crack will only get worse over time.
