More Than Just Glass: Understanding the Role of Your Windshield
At Arrow Auto Glass, we recognize that the windshield is much more than a piece of glass. It’s a critical safety feature of your vehicle, integral to the protection of everyone inside. While the obvious benefits of a windshield include maintaining visibility and shielding from weather and debris, its safety functions go much deeper.
Strength Under Stress
The windshield in your vehicle is incredibly strong, designed to become even more robust under stress. This strength is crucial in protecting passengers. Engineered from advanced non-shatter glass, the windshield plays a vital role in maintaining the structural integrity of the vehicle, especially in extreme situations.
Protection During Accidents
In the event of an accident, a properly installed windshield contributes significantly to the safety of the vehicle’s occupants. If a vehicle overturns, the strength of the windshield is a key factor in preventing the roof from collapsing. During a collision, the windshield also aids in stabilizing the airbags, maximizing their effectiveness in protecting passengers.
