"Hi, I'm Heath Heine here with Clearview Windshield Repair on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip we are going to be talking about understanding a windshield. Now I am going to help you understand why a windshield can be repaired. See you have several different types of glass. On your house it is plate glass. Plate glass can actually crack and break into shards and it can slice you. I don't know, lot's of different ways. It's pretty bad stuff. empered glass is glass on the side of your windows and that has been heated, reheated, reheated so when that breaks in the event of a rollover or something or even a cop breaking a window open for you so you can get out, it breaks into little cubes. You might have seen that in a car accident or something. Now another thing on a windshield it is laminated glass. It has two layers of glass that are sandwiched together and then the inside layer is polyvinyl butyl which is a plastic inner layer. So what happens is when that gets a knick that can be repaired because you inject the resin in and it stops before it even hits the second layer of glass. So instead of injecting and going all the way through, it injects and stops. Therefore, being able to seal that break. Now with the stone breaking a windshield, basically what happens is that darker blackness that you see in the break is air and air as we all know expands and contracts and cracks across your windshield so it can further the crack. So what we do in a windshield repair process is that we inject an acrylic resin into the break to fill the void and siphon that air out. Therefore, the break is filled and can't crack out any further. "
