Uncompromising quality in materials
When it comes to auto glass repair and replacement, the quality of materials used can significantly impact not only the vehicle's appearance but, more importantly, its safety and functionality. At Gryath Glass, we understand that the materials we choose are a direct reflection of our commitment to excellence and customer safety. That's why we exclusively use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) glass and Sika Ultimate- 30-minute drive-away adhesive in our services. This blog explores the importance of these materials and why choosing the right ones matters for your vehicle.
The Significance of OEM Glass
OEM glass is designed and manufactured to meet the exact specifications of your vehicle's original glass, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal functionality. This glass is produced by the same manufacturer that supplied the original glass for the vehicle, guaranteeing that it matches in shape, size, color, thickness, and durability. The use of OEM glass is crucial for maintaining the vehicle's structural integrity, aesthetic appeal, and, most importantly, the safety features designed to protect passengers.
The choice of OEM glass is particularly vital for vehicles equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). These systems rely on sensors that may be integrated into the windshield, and any discrepancy in glass quality or specifications can impair their functionality, compromising the vehicle's safety. By adhering to OEM standards, Gryath Glass ensures that all safety features remain fully operational, providing peace of mind to our clients.
The Risks of Non-OEM Glass
Opting for non-OEM glass might seem like a cost-effective solution at first glance, but it comes with significant risks. Non-OEM glass often lacks the precise engineering and quality control of OEM glass, leading to potential issues with fit, visibility, and durability. Poorly fitting glass can result in leaks, increased wind noise, and, most dangerously, a compromised vehicle structure in the event of a collision. Moreover, the use of non-OEM glass can void warranties and decrease the vehicle's resale value.
The dangers extend to the vehicle's safety systems as well. Non-OEM glass may not properly accommodate the sensors and cameras integral to ADAS, leading to malfunctions or inaccurate readings. Such discrepancies not only endanger the passengers but also other road users. Gryath Glass's commitment to using OEM glass is a commitment to safety, ensuring that every repair or replacement upholds the vehicle's original standards.
The Importance of Sika Ultimate Adhesive
The adhesive used in auto glass installation plays a critical role in the safety and durability of the repair. Gryath Glass utilizes Sika Ultimate- 30-minute drive-away adhesive, a product that sets the industry benchmark for strength, reliability, and safety. This fast-curing adhesive allows for a remarkably quick drive-away time of just 30 minutes, significantly reducing the vehicle's downtime without compromising on the bond's quality.
The fast drying time of Sika Ultimate adhesive does not only offer convenience; it is a critical safety feature. In the event of a collision, the windshield contributes to the vehicle's structural integrity, supporting the roof and ensuring the airbags deploy correctly. The strength and rapid bonding of Sika Ultimate adhesive ensure that the windshield can perform these vital safety functions almost immediately after installation. This choice of adhesive is another way Gryath Glass prioritizes the safety and satisfaction of our clients.
