If you’ve ever wondered about windshield layers in Wisconsin, you’re in the right place. Your windshield is more than just a piece of glass, it’s a key safety feature that protects you and your passengers. At Affordable Auto Glass in Wisconsin, we specialize in windshield repair and replacement across Nashotah and nearby Lake Country areas, and we believe every driver should understand how their windshield is built.
The Modern Windshield: Built with 3 Protective Layers
Today’s windshields use laminated safety glass, made up of:
1. Outer Glass Layer
Tempered for strength, this layer resists flying debris and daily wear.
2. PVB Plastic Inner Layer
This plastic core keeps the windshield together in an accident and helps:
Block UV rays
Minimize road noise
Prevent shattering
3. Inner Glass Layer
The final sheet of tempered glass faces inside the car, reinforcing the structure and working with the PVB to form a safe, flexible shield.
Why These Windshield Layers Matter in Wisconsin
Windshield layers in Wisconsin are crucial due to the state’s varied climate and rough road conditions. Laminated glass protects against:
Cracks from extreme temperature shifts
Snow, ice, and salt damage
Road debris from construction zones
That’s why Affordable Auto Glass in Wisconsin only uses OEM or OEM-equivalent laminated windshields for top safety and durability.
Is Your Windshield Laminated?
Look for “Laminated” or “LAM” in the glass corner. If you’re unsure, we’re here to help. We serve Nashotah, Delafield, Pewaukee, Hartland, Summit, Wales, and other Lake Country communities.
When Do You Need a Windshield Replacement?
If a crack reaches the inner PVB layer, or if damage impairs visibility, replacement is the safer route. Our technicians will always recommend the best and most cost-effective option.
