In most countries including the United States, windshields in vehicles are made from laminated glass. Laminated glass consists of a thin plastic layer between two sheets of glass. The intent of the thin plastic layer is to bind the two sheets together allowing it to bend slightly under impact. This reduces the risk of injury to the automobile’s passengers in case of an accident.

Windshield damages occur when an object such as a small rock hits the windshield. When the break occurs, an air gap opens between the glass and the plastic layer. The air that is present inside the windshield, as well as the surfaces that are present inside the gap on either side of the impact point is what makes damages in a windshield visible.
Glass Reconditioners can repair all types of damages on laminated windshields including cracks.

Glass Reconditioners strictly uses the latest repair techniques and products of the highest quality to ensure a high quality windshield repair. Glass Reconditioners uses various resin compounds that custom match windshield tints as well as resins of which the viscosities vary to accommodate the various seasons.

The repair process…

• A windshield repair starts by cleaning out the surrounding area of the damage, as well as the damage itself.
• A repair technician uses a moisture evaporator to dry out any moisture that is present inside the damage.

• Once dried out, an injector is placed over the impact point where a vacuum is created to remove the trapped air from the damage.
• Upon completing the vacuum, the injector is released and resin flows freely into the break. Depending on the results, it is sometimes necessary to repeat the vacuum and filling process.

• Once filled, a UV light is applied to the damaged area to cure the resin. This process cures and bonds the resin to the glass for a strong repair.
• The final stage of the process is to apply a pit fill resin and cure with the UV light. This step completely seals and weather-proofs the repair.
