The windshield of your car is an essential part of your safety on the road. However, sometimes it can suffer damage, whether from small impacts or adverse weather conditions.
In this article, we will explore the causes of windshield breakage, the types of damage that can occur, and how Ralarsa, windshield workshop, stands out as a sustainable option for windshield repair throughout Spain. Our commitment is clear: whenever possible, we repair instead of replace.
What causes a broken windshield?
Windshield breakages can be caused by various circumstances, including:
Impact from stones and debris. Stones and debris thrown by other vehicles on the road can hit the windshield, causing cracks or breakages.
Sudden temperature changes. Temperature differences can cause small cracks to expand quickly.
Impact from objects. Objects such as tree branches or even golf balls can damage the windshield if they hit it at high speed.
Hail damage. Hailstorms can severely damage the windshield and other car windows.
Types of windshield breakages
There are several types of windshield damage, with the most common including:
Linear cracks. These are straight breaks that can spread across the windshield over time.
Chips or pit marks. Small breaks, generally caused by stone impacts, that can spread if not repaired in time.
Deep scratches. Deep scratches can distort visibility and affect safety, as well as potentially expand and make windshield repair impossible.
