Windscreens are made of glass for several reasons: transparency for visibility, strength to protect occupants, and safety by breaking into small, dull pieces upon impact. Glass also resists scratches which helps maintain clarity and durability over time.
Crane glass, also known as safety glass, is usually made from a combination of two or more sheets of glass bonded together with a tough interlayer material, typically made of polyvinyl butyral (PVB). This type of glass is designed to remain intact when shattered, reducing the risk of injury from broken glass fragments. The interlayer helps hold the glass together, enhancing its strength and safety properties.
A magnifying glass is typically made with a convex lens, usually made of glass or plastic. The lens is specially shaped to magnify objects when viewed through it. The handle of the magnifying glass is usually made of plastic or metal for easy handling.
Glass marbles are typically made of melted glass that is formed into spherical shapes. They can come in various colors and patterns, created by adding different pigments or layers of glass during the manufacturing process. Glass marbles are often smooth and shiny due to the way they are molded and cooled.

They are essentially made out of the same raw ingredients. HOWEVER - car glass is in effect a 'sandwich' of two thin sheets of glass with an adhesive-coated polythene sheet heat-sealed between them. This not only strengthens the windscreen, but prevents the glass shattering, as the shards of broken glass are mostly held in place by the polythene.
The cost to replace a car windscreen can vary depending on the vehicle's make, model, and year, as well as the type of glass required. On average, a windscreen replacement can cost anywhere from $200 to $1,500 or more. Additional features like rain sensors, cameras, or tinted glass can increase the cost. It's best to get a quote from a reputable auto glass repair shop for an accurate estimate.
The numbers on a vehicle's windscreen typically refer to the vehicle's registration or identification details, including the manufacturer’s safety certification or a date code indicating when the glass was made. They may also include the vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) or compliance labels that show adherence to safety standards. These numbers help in identifying the vehicle and ensuring the glass meets regulatory requirements.
Tempered glass is typically used for windshields in vehicles. This type of glass is designed to shatter into small, dull pieces upon impact to reduce the risk of injury.
