Glasses of car. |
In a car, we see the upper part is mostly
surrounded by glass. We call them with different names to identify and each has
a different role to serve. For example; the windshield glass is used to protect
from winds and dust. Vent glass is used to help the rear door to roll up and
down. The rear windshield has a line in which a small amount of electricity
runs to heat the rear windshield pane and does the function of defrosting (Free
from ice). The sunroof glass is also known as moonroof glass which let fresh
air and light into the cabin.
There are two main types of glasses used in cars.

Laminated Glass
Laminated Glass:

Laminated glass was invented in the mid of 1920s.
The two-layer of the glass sheet is joined together with a plastic layer in
between known as polyvinyl butyral. This glass sandwich is fused with a high
amount of heat to create laminated glass. Laminated glass does not shatter in
case of an accident and designed to take extreme impact. Unlike normal glasses,
this glass holds the glass pieces and reduce injury to passengers during an
accident. Laminated glass is used in the windshield of the car. It also acts as
a cushion when a passenger is thrown into the windshield during head-on collisions.
When rocks hit the windshield, only the exterior glass layer gets damaged which
makes laminated glass repairable.

Tempered glass is used in the door and rear window
of a car. The sheet of glass is heated to a specific temperature and rapidly
cooled by cold air to produce a tempered glass. This makes the glass 10 times
stronger and during an accident, it breaks into non-sharp pebbles like pieces
that won’t cause bodily harm when falls onto passengers. Unlike laminated
glass, tempered glass cannot be repaired when there is a small crack. The only
solution is to replace the entire glass.
