Heated Windscreen
FORGET SCRAPING ICE WHEN IT’S FREEZING OUTSIDE Driving on winter mornings can be quite daunting, especially after a heavy snowfall. Our heated windscreens have heat conductive patterns at the base near the wipers that melt the snow along with the bottom of the glass and free the wipers to remove the snow and ice. The product uses fine, almost invisible, metallic wires, embedded on the PVB interlayer film that is heated by the car battery. It helps in defogging and removing the snow deposits.
Features and Benefits
- Prevents ice and fogging due to condensation
- Quickly defogs and melts the snow
- Provides better clarity for the driver
- Eliminates the need to use air blowers to warm the windshield

Frequently Asked Questions
A heated windshield is a specially designed laminated glass that has fine, almost invisible heating wires embedded within it. The car’s battery powers these wires and help quickly clear frost , ice or fog from the glass surface. It’s especially useful during cold or rainy conditions, as it improves visibility and eliminates the need to scrape ice or wait for the defogger to work manually.
A heated wire windshield works by using fine metallic wires embedded in the inner layer of the glass. When the system is switched on, these wires heat up using power from the vehicle’s battery. The warmth spreads evenly across the glass, melting snow, frost or ice and preventing fog or condensation from forming. This helps keep the windscreen clear and ensures better visibility in cold or damp weather.
A heated windscreen offers multiple advantages that make driving safer and more convenient.
- It prevents ice and fogging caused by condensation, which ensures a clear view even in cold or humid weather.
- The system quickly defogs and melts snow, providing better clarity for the driver.
- It also eliminates the need to use air blowers to warm the windshield, which saves both time and effort.
- Additionally, it helps keep wiper blades from freezing and enhances overall driving comfort during winter conditions.
The power usage of a windshield heating depends on the vehicle’s electrical system and the strength of its battery. It does consume some power when heating the glass, but the impact is usually minimal. The benefits, like faster defogging, clear visibility and minimal to zero need for air blowers or manual scraping, make it a worthwhile feature for safer and more comfortable driving in cold or foggy conditions.
No, a heated windshield does not compromise visibility or durability. The embedded heating wires are extremely thin and almost invisible to the naked eye, allowing a completely clear view for the driver. The glass is laminated, just like a regular windscreen and offers the same strength and safety. In fact, it enhances performance by preventing fog, ice and cracks caused by extreme temperature changes.
