  • 6. Can having a damaged windshield compromise my safety?

    Your windshield is more than just a window. It actually provides structural strength to your vehicle’s body. In case of an accident, the windshield helps keep passengers inside and supports the inflation and performance of passenger side airbags. In the case of a rollover, the windshield is a structural component that reinforces the vehicle’s roof and prevents it from collapsing.


    If your windshield needs to be repaired or replaced, it’s a matter of safety and it’s best if you deal with it as soon as you can. Putting it off can turn minor problems into major ones, and it can turn an inconvenient situation into a dangerous one.


    Sometimes people put off dealing with their windshields because it seems like such a hassle. Coming right to your location with world-class glass, providing expert technicians for the installation or repair and knowledgeable representatives to handle every detail with the insurance company, Active Auto Glass takes all the hassle out of the equation.

  • 12. What is the difference between tempered and laminated glass?

    Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that holds together when shattered. It’s what’s used in the manufacture of Windshields. To create a laminated piece of glass, two pieces of plate glass are sandwiched around a layer of rubber-like laminate. When a small object hits a piece of laminated glass, usually only the outer layer breaks. That’s why it’s possible to repair chips on a windshield. Because of the way it’s constructed, the glass is much harder to penetrate either from outside or from inside. That means when a windshield is damaged it will usually stay in one piece.


    Tempered glass is plate glass that’s specially heat treated then quickly cooled to increase its strength. So that if it breaks, it doesn’t form dangerous shards. Rather, it produces hundreds of little pieces without the long sharp edges you find with regular broken glass. Most non-windshield glass is tempered.
