Nabasag ang Front Windshield ko

[Sarsi]

Kahapon habang nasa fieldwork ako, ipinark ko yung auto ko sa isang parking area sa bandang Congressional Avenue in QC, pagbalik ko sa parking at pagsakay ko sa auto, napansin ko na yung mallit na crack dati (na dahil sa tama ng bato sa SLEX), ang pinagmulan niya, mga 12 inches ang haba.

Car Make/ Model: Mitsubishi Lancer 99 (Pizza Pie)

Ang original windshield nya ay Laminated, pero sabi ng mga napagtanungan ko mas okay daw ang tempered at mas mura pa, ang tanong ko ay:

1. Ano ba ang pinagkaiba ng Laminated at Tempered? Ano ba ang advantage ng isa dun sa isang klase?

2. Nag inquire na ako sa Aguila Glass, P3400 ang tempered at P4700 ang laminated, free installation na yun. May iba pa ba kayo mai recommend?

Out of the question na ang surplus kasi kahit makuha ng mura, siguradong taga naman sa installation cost.


TIA

Main difference ng tempered and laminated glass is that laminated glass does not shatter when it breaks. It sticks to a plastic backing which prevents the glass from injuring you. Tempered glass while also a type of safety glass, shatters into small bits. The entire panel typically shatters all at once.

If you can afford it, go with laminated for your safety and security.

I once had a tempered glass table shatter. It looked like a jigsaw puzzle. As in thousands of small glass pieces covering the entire floor.

I could be wrong but afaik matagal na hindi gumagamit ang mga car manufacturers ng tempered front windshields, puro laminated na. Most mid 90's car and onwards came out from the factory with laminated front windshields.

Go for the laminated windshields!

They're there for a reason.. safety-wise.

...or you can go for the tempered and have it tinted. this would have the same effect as a laminated glass.

sarsi,

i suggest you get the laminated. i just have the everest replace the windshield last week. its 11k nampepe.. pero covered naman nung insurance. nabato kasi sa NLEX naman. maliit lang naman yung tama pero di ko na inantay na lumaki pa.

or kung nag titipid ka tempered tapos i menyak tint mo nalang. heheheh
