Windshield damage is something most of us will experience while driving a vehicle. Most windshields will need repair to lessen damage and prevent chips from spreading into cracks.
What is Windshield Repair?
At DECO Windshield Repair, we repair stone damage or stone "chips" up to the size of a Toonie, as well as a single long crack up to a length of 24 inches. Best results are obtained when the damage is repaired right away, before it gets contaminated from car washing, road grime or inclement weather.
It's also better to get it done before the damage spreads.
The development of more sophisticated tools and superior resins has enabled windshield chip repair to become an economically, environmentally and physically sound process when properly performed by a trained professional.
How are windshields repaired?
Windshield Repair is a process that restores strength and improves visibility to a windshield that has been damaged, usually by a rock.
Most repairs performed by a qualified repair technician will result in 80% - 95% improvement in visibility depending on the initial damage. Professional repairmen use high quality equipment capable of removing air in the damaged area and replacing it with a high quality glass resin that will prevent further damage and improve the finished look of the repair.
Windshields and safety glass are made from a "sandwich" of plastic laminate between two layers of glass. An impact strong enough to damage the hard outer layer can cause an infinite variety of chips, cracks, crescents, stars, or combination breaks.
Why repair a windshield?
Repairing a damaged windshield makes sense for several reasons.
Repairs save money by preventing the need for costly replacement, and are very convenient taking only a few minutes. Repairs are also safe, as the glass is never removed and the original factory seal is maintained.
