Windscreen Repair
Most new windscreens are laminated.
This is where two layers of glass are permanently bonded together
by a plastic membrane. If something hits a laminated windscreen,
like a flying stone, the glass will not shatter. This is because
the damaged area sticks to the plastic membrane – and this
is why we can fix it.
We first make sure that the damaged area is clean
and tidy. We then suck all the air out of the chip with a vacuum
and inject it with a clear resin liquid, before reversing the
vacuum to force the resin to fill the chip.
We cover the chip with a special
film and use an ultra-violet light to harden the resin. Finally,
we polish the glass clean – and it's immediately safe for you
to drive away.
This whole process only takes around
30 minutes.
Remember: Glasweld only repairs and does not replace.
We therefore avoid the temptation that most other companies have
of going for the bigger billing option of replacing. |
