Has the glass in your vehicle ever fogged up? The presence of condensation on car windows poses a significant risk when driving, as it considerably reduces the driver’s visibility and increases the chances of an incident.
To maximise road safety, it is very important to resolve this type of situation as quickly and effectively as possible. At Ralarsa, a workshop specialising in the repair and replacement of car windows, we explain how to prevent your vehicle’s glass from fogging up.
Why do car windows fog up?
Fogging is an excess of moisture on car glass caused by a difference between the vehicle’s interior and exterior temperature. Bearing in mind that up to 90% of the information needed for driving is received through sight, driving with fogged‑up glass is extremely dangerous for vehicle occupants and also for other road users.
Therefore, to remove fogging from car windows, it is necessary to adjust the interior temperature of the vehicle so that it is as close as possible to the outside temperature. There are a variety of highly effective solutions to achieve this.
How to remove fog from car windows?
Today, cars are equipped with state‑of‑the‑art technology capable of preventing car glass from fogging up and, if condensation appears, resolving the problem very efficiently. Among the methods to remove fog from a vehicle’s glass, the following stand out:
Air conditioning
Air conditioning is a feature present in the vast majority of modern vehicles and is one of the fastest and most convenient solutions for removing fog from car windows. Generally, vehicles have an air conditioning vent that directs air straight onto the car’s front windscreen to clear it as quickly as possible.
Rear heated window
Another option available in some vehicles to prevent glass from fogging up is the rear heated window. This type of car window features an electric heating element inside the glass that can adjust the temperature of the component. This temperature adjustment helps remove accumulated condensation, improving the driver’s visibility quickly and easily.
Rain‑repellent treatment
This is a liquid composed of a series of acrylic resins and transparent polymers, among other elements, that is sprayed onto the vehicle’s front windscreen. The rain‑repellent treatment allows water droplets to slide off the glass, improving the driver’s visibility at the wheel. It also repels frost and reduces the adhesion of insects and dust on the windscreen. Get a high‑quality rain‑repellent treatment at your nearest Ralarsa glass workshop!
