A stone just flipped up off the road and put a crack in the car windshield. How bad a crack depends upon the size stone and the force of the impact. But even if that crack is a small one, it does need to be seen to. Because a crack in a windshield can become a serious problem, than it seems.
Most people don’t know this, but in modern cars and vehicles the windshield is actually a supporting structure for the upper frame and roof, and a cracked windshield weakens that support. This can make a very serious and even possibly a fatal difference in a crash should the vehicle roll over. Because if that windshield should break in a roll over, the roof could collapse upon the occupants. So it follows that a windshield crack needs to be repaired by a professional glazier who can decide if it can be sealed or if the windshield needs replacement if the damage is no longer amenable to a simple repair.
But when it comes to Glass Repair in Portland OR, it’s not just car windshields that can require attention. Residential and commercial glass is equally vulnerable to damage. And even if it won’t have the same potentially fatal consequences of a windshield crack, a broken window in a house or building is a major inconvenience. For a start, a broken window entails a great expense and also leaves the building vulnerable, as the objects inside can no longer be adequately secured. Calling in a contractor for emergency Glass Repair in Portland OR for a house or building takes care of the problem in a short time. This includes boarding up the window space while a replacement pane is prepared and brought out to the site. Also, internal glass screens, separation panels and doors, and mirrors can be subject to breakage or other forms of damage and require on the spot repair or replacement in a quick a time as can be arranged.
