- Most if not all new vehicles have two types of glass installed. Laminated, and Tempered. Your windshield is a laminated piece of glass which means you have two layers of glass and vinyl in between them, this allows almost no penetration thru the glass. Tempered glass are the side and back windows. If you were hit on the side of the vehicle would you want this shards of glass flying thru the car like some old house windows?, Tempered windows when shattered break into small pebble like pieces of glass thus making it safer for the occupants.
