About Windscreen Repairs
Windscreen Repairs
are for the repair of laminated glass only. You do not need to determine if the
windscreen is laminated, if it is chipped or cracked it must be laminated, the
older toughened windscreen does not chip; it shatters into thousands of pieces.
The repair process works
by injecting a liquid acrylic resin into the damaged glass. The resin is cured by the
use of long wave ultra violet light.
After curing, what
the repair will do is as follows.
1. It will restore
the strength to the damaged glass. BS AU251:1994 is the relevant British standard
for measuring the performance of windscreen repair equipment and copies are
available from BSI if required. Esprit have passed BS AU251:1994 and the
Australian/New Zealand standard AS/NZS 2366.2:1999.
2. Cosmetic
improvement. Repairs restore the optical or cosmetic appearance. The size of the
blemish left is a function of the severity of the initial damage.
3. Durability.
Repairs are permanent and the vehicle can be washed or driven immediately after
repair.
4. Heated
windscreens can be repaired in exactly the same manner as ordinary windscreens.
5. Tinted windscreens or tinted top band areas can be repaired in the same
manner as plain windscreens. The "colour" is in the PVB interlayer not the
glass. The glass picks up the colour from the interlayer, the repair resin will
do exactly the same.
