Choosing good and correct car glass will affect the appearance of your car. Moreover, now there are many models and colors of window film that can be adapted to your car and can be modified. The main benefit of installing this type of window film on your car is to reduce sunlight entering the cabin. Thus, then the cabin temperature will feel more comfortable than glass that is not installed with window film. Besides that, Exposure to sunlight containing ultraviolet and infrared rays certainly has an adverse effect on the skin. With window film, we can reduce all these risks.
However, Did you know that the type of glass traded in Indonesia for cars must have the Indonesian National Standard or SNI and is proven by a logo attached. Without this logo, glass cannot be bought and sold in Indonesia. Glass has an important role as a protector for car passengers. So therefore, You have to choose glass, both type and thickness. Let's look at the differences below!
Tempered car glass, It has a very hard glass texture and does not break easily even when impacted. Many public vehicles such as buses also use tempered glass. Tempered glass can break when penetrated by a sharp object 1/6 its thickness. This glass is made with temperature 650 degrees Celsius, and if this glass breaks it will turn into very small pieces the size of corn kernels. The broken pieces of tempered glass are also not sharp so they are quite safe.
Laminated car glass is thick glass 2 mm where the center is inserted by a sheet of film, so it is often known as lamisafe. The film layer formed is stronger and does not break easily like tempered glass. Apart from that, there is a sheet of film, then it is able to withstand UV rays 96 percent. This glass has the advantage of protecting the driver and passengers at the front.
The differences between the two glasses above are:, first found in its strength, Tempered glass has five times the strength of laminated glass. Second, it is in the film layer, Tempered glass does not have a film layer so you need to add it so that the cabin temperature doesn't get too hot when driving during the day. The third, if the tempered glass breaks, then the fragments will be more dangerous than laminated glass. Because laminated glass does not easily break into pieces thanks to the film layer in the middle.
