Is Premium Windshield Glass Worth It?

Nearly everyone has to replace their windshield at one time and inevitably cost plays a factor for many people. So while standard glass can work, it should be said choosing premium glass offers performance advantages that may be easily overlooked at first but can make a huge difference when it comes to value in the long run, comfort and safety. 

What Is Premium Windshield Glass?

Usually known as OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) glass or sometimes referred to as top quality aftermarket windshield glass that exceeds regular factory specifications. It offers tolerances that are tighter, better clarity, enhanced lamination materials and more accurate curvature. More often than not it is an exact match to your vehicle specifications. 

Premium Windshield Glass Benefits

• Premium standard laminated glass is like the six million dollar man, stronger, clearer (faster!) than the window before. If an accident happens the glass is more likely to hold together, reducing the risk of the glass shattering and injury to be caused. Premium glass also is more resistant to chips and endure stress cracks better than lower grade glass.
• Cheaper windshields can be adequate but are more likely to cause ripples, distortion and glare. Conversely, premium level glass is designed to minimize or even eliminate those poorer qualities and offer sharper and cleaner visibility. Vital for night and highway driving. 
• Insulation is something more premium windshields offer in abundance. This reduces noise, minimizes UV rays and can assist in stabilizing cabin temperature. All of this adds to the regular driving experience and helps maintain your interior to damage caused by the sun. 
• Many modern vehicles are equipped with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), such as lane-keep assist and collision-avoidance sensors. These systems rely on a windshield that is built to exact specifications. Premium glass helps ensure accurate calibration and reduces the risk of malfunction.
• Top quality auto glass usually is longer lasting and can help with the resale value for your vehicle. If you are a daily driver or plan to use the car for many years, it is a good idea to get the best auto glass on the market. 

When Conventional Glass May Be Sufficient

If you drive an older car or truck with few cutting edge safety systems or you are working to a budget, standard glass may be enough. Especially if you usually make short trips. Even so, there are still benefits from upgrading

See Through It For Yourself

For newer vehicles with the latest in safety features and daily and intense commutes, premium level windshield glass is totally worth the investment.
