At Ralarsa, we assess the damage that your car window has suffered and, if it can be repaired, we recommend that you visit the nearest Ralarsa workshop.
At Ralarsa, we are specialists in repairing car glass and in this article we will explain the different types of damage that a windscreen can present and the different solutions. Depending on the damage sustained by the glass, it will be possible to proceed with repairing the damage or, on the contrary, it will need to be replaced.
Where to repair car glass?
Although it may be hard to believe, a broken window is one of the most common types of damage suffered by cars. The windscreen, or the front window specifically, is the one that suffers the most breakages due to its exposure. It is important that, in the event of any type of crack or breakage, you visit a Ralarsa centre so that our professionals can analyse it and determine whether glass repair is necessary.
The car’s front window is one of the most important elements as it protects the driver from any unforeseen events that may occur on the road. It also acts as a protective component for the passenger, as it supports the passenger’s airbag in the event of deployment. For this reason, it is essential to always keep it in optimal condition to avoid greater risks on the road.
Broadly speaking, the types of breakage can be divided between those without cracks and those with cracks. In general, a windscreen breakage without cracks can be repaired, as in the case of a bull’s-eye. This consists of an impact on the windscreen that leaves a cone-shaped hole and can obstruct the driver’s view. However, if it has no cracks, Ralarsa technicians may be able to resolve it with a car glass repair.
On the other hand, damage to the front window with cracks can occur. In this case, these are the most serious and dangerous breakages since any of these cracks, if somewhat deep, along with small external factors such as a pothole or a stone in the road can cause a complete breakage, making it necessary to replace the car window.
Repairing glass sustainably with Ralarsa
At Ralarsa, we want to ensure the safety of our drivers while always thinking about the environment, which is why we opt for more sustainable and, of course, safe solutions. In order to work in a more sustainable way, among the different actions we carry out the main one is repairing glass whenever possible, instead of replacing the entire window. In this way, the climate impact caused is lower, as there is no need to handle glass waste.
Likewise, another action we aim to reduce due to its high environmental impact is the use of glass, steel and chemical products in our services. For this reason, we rationalise the use of natural resources as much as possible by using environmentally friendly energy methods. In addition, we handle waste properly, eliminating substances that can be harmful to the environment.
