Auto Glass Quality Control

The best way to control the quality of an automobile windshield installation and be assured of a safe application is to hire a professional auto glass installer with good verifiable history.

Accountability is the foundation of a long-standing and reputable auto glass repair and replacement company. A company with experience and a good history is bound to their reputation by accountability.

Getting a “to-good-to-be-true” deal, an unbelievable warranty or cash money back on windshield replacement seems like a great opportunity until you have a problem with the installation. What if they want their money back? What if the installer won’t return your calls, or their phone is disconnected? Uh oh.

You will get the best quality and service from a reputable and experienced windshield and auto glass repair and replacement company because they are accountable for their workmanship.

Does The Desert Heat Cause Auto Glass To Break Easier?

As glass cools from its molten state in production, it can lock in a lot of stress.  Hot glass expands internally, creating stress in the material. Thermally caused glass breakage is due to a difference of temperature between the two sides of the glass.

Spontaneous glass breakage from heat has been reported and documented. In theory, the hotter your auto glass, the easier it will break from a projectile impact or spontaneous glass breakage.

Using Laminated Glass in Auto Windows

Many automakers are changing the type of glass used in side and rear windows. Tempered glass has been the standard on the side windows of cars for several decades, but many automakers are switching to laminated glass. 

Laminated glass, long the standard on front windshields, can now be found on the side windows of many automobiles. Laminated glass differs from tempered glass, which is designed to break in smaller, safer chunks. 

Using laminated glass in auto windows keeps the car quieter in the cabin and can be more fuel-efficient. It can keep would-be thieves out because penetrating it can be nearly impossible. For that same reason, it also can reduce injury to passengers from flying pieces of glass in accidents.

To figure out what kind of glass is in the side window of your car, you can look in the bottom corner for of the glass for a label that says "tempered" or "laminated." 

Whatever your automobile’s glass type, Call Pride Auto Glass at 623-594-4388 for superior auto glass replacement service in the metro Phoenix West Valley!
