Have you ever taken a long drive on a beautiful sunny day? Refreshed, pulling back into your driveway, you suddenly notice that the left side of your face is . . . burned?
Unfortunately, this is one hazard of auto glass: UV rays. The harmful transmission of light can penetrate right through a windshield and the driver’s side automobile glass. Glass can only filter UVB radiation – not UVA. It is possible to install windshield replacement glass that has a higher tint level, though it must follow the laws of each state. Excluding windshields, glass is tinted to 70% VLT or Visible Light Transmitted, which is the usual tint put on new factory cars these days. You can have your auto glass replaced for this if you have a history of skin cancer in your family or are simply concerned about UV rays.
TeleGlass can help with all of your auto glass repair needs. If this is an auto glass repair you would like to inquire further about, please contact us here at TeleGlass. Please note though that windshield repair for UV rays is heavily regulated in the US, and if you prefer a darker tint (similar to limousine), you are possibly risking being pulled over and fined by the police.
