FAQs
What kind of glass should I buy?
If you need a windshield, you can choose between a laminated windshield or a zone tempered windshield. Do NOT buy fully tempered. If you need a side glass/window or a backglass, then they will be tempered
What is the difference between tempered glass and laminated glass?
Laminated glass is glass with a plastic interlayer known as polyvinyl butyral (PVB). Upon a strong enough impact, cracks form on the glass, most commonly known as a spiderweb. It is considered safe because there is little to no risk of sharp shards breaking off and hurting anyone nearby. Also, visibility is only minimally impaired. For automotive purposes, laminated glass is used for windshields to ensure a level of visibility as well as protection for the driver and passengers of the car even after impact. Tempered glass, sometimes referred to as toughened glass, is glass that undergoes a process of heating and cooling to strengthen it. However, when hit hard enough, tempered glass tends to shatter into small pieces. In tagalog, nagmamais siya. Only zone tempered glass is allowed for windshields as a broken fully tempered glass will not allow for any visibility for the driver and is dangerous.
Is that better than silicone?
Polyurethane is superior to silicone as silicone is really only a sealant and not an adhesive. Users of silicone, usually paired with butyl tape, also usually experience rusting of their pinchweld. Proper polyurethane acts as both sealant and adhesive, guaranteeing that not only does your windshield or backglass stay in place, but it is also sealed from water and will therefore minimize the risk of rusting. Aguila Auto Glass and Aguila Glass branches only use high quality primerless polyurethane, ensuring a good, proper installation every time.
