As the weather gets colder, the risk of windscreen damage increases and so does the demand for windscreen repairs. Having the right windscreen repair kit ensures you can meet these seasonal demands and maintain a high-quality service for your customers.
Why Windscreen Repairs Surge During Winter
Temperature Stress: Rapid heating of frosty windscreens can cause existing chips to expand into cracks.
Increased Road Debris: Grit, salt, and gravel used on the roads can strike windscreens, leading to chips and cracks.
Weakened Glass: Cold weather makes windscreen glass more brittle, increasing its vulnerability to minor impacts.
These seasonal issues emphasise the importance of being prepared with the right windscreen repair kit to get your customers’ cars back on the road.
How a Windscreen Repair Kit Works
Professional windscreen repair kits are designed to restore glass integrity and clarity, preventing further damage. The process usually involves:
Preparation: Cleaning the damage area thoroughly to remove dirt and moisture.
Application: Injecting resin into the damaged area using a precision applicator to fill chips or cracks completely.
Curing: Hardening the resin with UV light or curing strips to bond it firmly to the glass.
Polishing: Removing excess resin and finishing the surface for a smooth, clear result.
