About Windscreens

A car windscreen is made up of two pieces of glass that are separated by a layer of 'PVB' (polyvinyl butyrate) that essentially 'glues' the two pieces together. This has several benefits, the most important being that it acts as a barrier in the event of a crash because the windscreen is held together when fractured. This layer can also help the windscreen block out harmful UV rays, can add some tinting, and can help reduce the amount of sound that comes through the windscreen. Modern, glued-in windscreens contribute to the vehicle's rigidity.

In the event of a damaged windscreen, the two options are to repair or replace. Originally, a damaged windscreen had to be replaced, but that was very expensive so windscreen repair became common. Repairing is often desirable because it keeps the original factory installation of the windscreen. Our windscreen replacement service operates throughout Norwich 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, replacing cracked or damaged windscreens, smashed windscreens and other auto windscreens and auto glass.
