The windshield  or windscreen  of an aircraftcarbusmotorbiketrucktrainboat or streetcar is the front window, which provides visibility while protecting occupants from the elements. Modern windshields are generally made of laminated safety glass, a type of treated glass, which consists of, typically, two curved sheets of glass with a plastic layer laminated between them for safety, and bonded into the window frame.

Types Of Glass Used for Commercial Vechicals

Laminated Glass

Laminated glass is ideal for the front windshield because it’s super strong. Two layers of glass are fused together by a layer of plastic. In the event of an accident, the windshield should stay intact and prevent the driver from exiting the vehicle. Laminated glass is used in vehicles for the purpose of safety. Laminated glass holds two pieces of glass together, with a thin layer of plastic between them. When laminated glass breaks, the main piece remains intact and the broken piece falls out. This prevents injuries to those inside or outside the vehicle from flying shards of glass.

Tempered Glass

Tempered glass is made by heating up the glass to a high temperature and then rapidly cooling it. It’s stronger than regular glass and safer, since it shatters into small round pieces when broken. This prevents injury from shattered glass but requires a full auto glass replacement. Tempered glass is widely used in car doors or windows. Another area where tempered glass is preferred is a rear windscreen, it decreases the cost as compared to the laminated rear windshield.

Features

OEM glass

OEM parts (original equipment manufacturer) are made directly by the car manufacturer. This means the auto glass is made specifically for your vehicle make and model and is guaranteed to fit. These types of parts are also designed to provide optimal safety and performance.

Dealer glass

Dealer glass is made to the same specifications as OEM glass. The only difference is that the windshield is made and marketed by the dealer itself.

Aftermarket glass

This type of windshield glass is like the off-brand OEM glass. While it is a less expensive option, you don’t know where or how it is made. It still must meet the standards of the Certified Automotive Parts Association (CAPA).
