How Does Patriot Glass and Windshields Mend A Chipped or Fractured Windshield near Belleville, IL? Read On! It's tough to visualize how a stone chip in a window can be corrected until you understand how a window is constructed. There are two main types of glass employed in cars today. Tempered glass and laminated glass. Both are thought to be safety glass. Fed auto safety standard ( FMVSS205 ) requires all windshields be laminated. When something tiny like a pebble hits the windscreen the outside layer of glass sometimes will break but the plastic middle layer absorbs a lot of the impact and the inner layer of glass seldom breaks. What you usually see is a little round circle or a star shaped fracture about the size of a cent or a quarter. The break is basically an air pocket between the plastic middle and the outer layer of glass. The mending process we employ involves injecting a ultra violet light curing resin into the air pockets of the fracture. When Patriot Glass and Windshields has totally filled all the air pockets of the fracture with the mend resin we apply an ultra violet light to heal the resin. Every batch of Patriot Glass and Windshields Belleville, IL glass is slightly different and each batch of resin is slightly different so a perfect match is never achieved but usually about eighty percent to 90% of the visible or cosmetic damage will vanish.
