CAR GLASS REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT?

Before proceeding to replace windshield, our technicians always assess whether a repair is feasible. Repair is prioritised whenever possible. However, cracked or shattered windshields and damaged side and rear windows cannot be repaired and require a replacement.

Windscreen repair Dubai is typically possible for damage up to 10mm in diameter within the driver's direct field of vision. Any damage more than that necessitates a replacement. The repairable area expands outside the immediate field of view.

Suppose your car insurance includes windscreen cover; the cost of windscreen replacement and installation may be covered, though you might be charged an excess fee. However, it's important to note that once a windscreen is removed, it cannot be repaired due to its composite nature of glass and plastics. Therefore, we strive to minimise landfill waste whenever possible.

While repairing the windscreen is generally preferable, it is only sometimes feasible. You can rely on our experts to provide reliable advice on the best course of action for your windscreen, whether car glass repair or replacement.

THE EVOLUTION OF WINDSCREENS 

The evolution of windscreens as advanced technology has a fascinating history. In the early days of automobiles, windscreens were nonexistent, and drivers relied on goggles for vision. However, as speeds increased, goggles proved ineffective, leading to the introduction of windshields. Initially, windshields were made from flat panels of ordinary window glass, shielding occupants from rain, wind, and debris. However, accidents revealed the hazards of such glass, as it shattered into sharp splinters upon impact, causing severe injuries. There was no concept of car glass repair in that era.

Tempered glass was introduced to address this issue, which was harder to break but posed risks when shattered. Finally, the modern windscreen emerged, consisting of layers of tempered glass sandwiching a thin polymer sheet. Modern windshields are designed to chip rather than crack, with any shards retained by the embedded plastic layer, resulting in a distinctive "spider's web" pattern upon breakage. At Al Emad Auto Workshop, we also offer cracked windshield replacement at your convenience.

Beyond their protective function, windscreens play a vital role in a vehicle's structural integrity. Approximately 30% of a car's structural strength is derived from the shape and form of the windscreen. Any damage, even a tiny chip or scratch, can develop into a crack due to temperature changes or jolts, compromising the vehicle's structural safety. Unrepaired chips can also accumulate water and dust, making thorough cleaning difficult. Even the most skilful auto glasses repair may leave visible traces if dirt is trapped.

It's crucial to address windscreen damage properly to prevent further complications. Timely repairs can prevent the need for a complete windscreen replacement, which is a more extensive and costly process. In addition, taking prompt action regarding windscreen issues can save you from future headaches.
