A chip is one of the common damage that windscreens in Greenvale or anywhere else experience. It marks the point of impact and could differ in look and the extent of the damage. Cracks create distinct lines in the glass that can range from under an inch to the width of the windshield. They generally run horizontally in a straight or wavy line.
Technicians can take up windscreen repair in airport west, as they are made of laminated glass can be repaired. Side windows and back glass are made from tempered glass; hence cannot be repaired. Size, depth and location of the damage would help in making the decision if the windscreen can be repaired or should be replaced. Large, deep cracks that extend to the edge of the windshield would need immediate replacement.
Generally, mechanics repair chips smaller than a small coin and cracks up to three inches. Experienced and talents workmen could repair large chips and cracks. The technical standards say that a chip up to three inches in size and a crack up to fourteen inches can be repaired.
A windshield is made of three layers, an outer layer of glass, a plastic interlayer and inside layer of glass. If the damage is through the outer and inner layer of glass, then the mechanic would not be able to help you with the repair work. If the damage extends to the outer edge of the glass, there is a greater chance that the structural integrity of the glass is compromised and a replacement is needed.
