Sometimes, even the smallest rock, hail, or debris that hits your windshield can crack, chip, or even penetrate the glass and strike people inside the car. Windshield Protection Film is an additional protective layer that protects you and your loved ones from unexpected accidents on the road. The invisible windshield film increases strength by adding a protective coating to your windshield. From preventing the windshield from cracking from external pressure to holding shattered glass in place in case of an accident, the windshield protection film protects you and your passengers. It also makes windshield scratch-resistant, even for wiper blades, stones, and other abrasive materials.

TYPES OF WINDSHIELD PROTECTION FILMS
Windshield protection films come in various types. Each type of protection film serves specific purposes, so the choice depends on your priorities regarding clarity, heat reduction, UV protection, and aesthetic preferences. Explore the different types of windshield protection films available at Durham Autohaus you can choose from.
CLEAR FILMS
These films provide basic protection for your windshield. It does not alter the appearance of the windshield. They're designed to shield against small rocks, debris, and minor scratches. They maintain the clarity of the glass while adding an extra layer of defense.
TINTED FILMS
Tinted windshield films offer both protection and glare reduction. They can help to block harmful UV rays and reduce heat buildup inside the vehicle. They also enhance privacy by darkening the glass. Tinted films are available in shades to suit personal preferences and legal requirements.
CERAMIC FILMS
Ceramic windshield films are a premium option known for their superior heat rejection properties. They contain ceramic particles that reflect heat and block infrared radiation. Ceramic windshield films provide a clear path for electronic signals like GPS or cell phone reception.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Windshield protection film creates a barrier between the windshield and the outside environment. It defends windshields against chips, cracks, and scratches from rocks, debris, and other road hazards. It is a clear, durable layer of tough materials like polyurethane or acrylic. It is applied to the outer surface of the windshield. This film absorbs the impact of small objects and prevents them from causing damage. Think of it like a superhero cape for your windshield, keeping it safe and sound while you're on the road.
When a rock or debris hits your windshield, it hits the protective film instead of directly hitting the glass. The film disperses the force of the impact and distributes it over a larger area, which helps to minimize damage. Plus, the film is transparent and won't block your view while driving. It's like having an invisible bodyguard for your car's windshield.
WHY TO INSTALL PROTECTIVE WINDSHIELD FILM?
A quality windshield protection film helps to reduce the risk of a costly windshield replacement. Installing protective windshield film is not just a cosmetic enhancement on your vehicle. It is a practical necessity for any vehicle owner. It promotes safety, longevity, and comfort while driving. Investing in this effective protective windshield film protects your vehicle against various hazards.
Moreover, it is the backboard for airbag deployment. When the windshield is weakened, it may not provide the proper support for the airbags to launch or hold protection. Thus, it's crucial to protect the structural integrity of the windshield.
- Impact Resistance: The film provides an additional layer of protection and reduces the risk of damage.
- Prevention of Shattering: A windshield with protective film is less likely to shatter during a collision or impact as the film holds the glass together.
- UV Ray Protection: Protective windshield films block harmful UV rays and protect from sun damage.
- Glare Reduction: Windshield films with glare-reducing properties promote visibility and reduce eye strain for drivers.
- Enhanced Privacy and Security: Some windshield films make it difficult for outsiders to see into the vehicle. And, in the event of an attempted break-in, the film provides an additional barrier.
- Preservation of Aesthetics: Protective windshield film's clarity and integrity help preserve the vehicle's overall appearance.
PROCESS OF WINDSHIELD PROTECTION FILM APPLICATION
Installing a layer of film to protect the windshield isn't just about safeguarding your windshield against damage or crack. It's much more than preserving the car's integrity. We're the best windshield protection film installer for every make and model vehicle, delivering precision once the job is done. From preparing the surface to installing the windshield film, the process will take about one or more depending on the complexity. Let's go through a detailed rundown of the windshield protective film installation process.
INITIAL ASSESSMENT
In the assessment session, our professionals will carefully evaluate your vehicle's windshield. This involves checking its strength against cracks or damage and measuring its exact dimensions to prepare its fitting film.
SURFACE PREPARATION
In the second phase, we thoroughly clean your windshield against dirt and grime and remove existing film. The cleaning provides a clean and smooth surface to work on.
APPLICATION OF THE FILM
In the application process, depending on the vehicle, we'll either work with pre-cut film kits or cut the film to custom-fit your specific vehicle model. Then, our professionals apply the adhesive and carefully position the film to fit the windshield.
QUALITY INSPECTION
Once the installation is complete, our technicians will carefully evaluate the work. We check the vehicle to ensure the protective film fits the windshield properly and double-check for any imperfections.
POST-APPLICATION CARE INSTRUCTIONS
The longevity and effectiveness of the windshield protection film depend on post-installation care. Although we work with only the highest-quality material, we'll instruct you on aftercare and timely maintenance tips to ensure your windshield film lasts for years.
