A car’s windshield is sometimes the only thing better the driver and the dirt from the road; dirt that contains stones among its various things. But suppose a stone comes flying in and hits the windshield, the glass does not break apart, but remains there with a spider web crack. It has taken a long time for the glass to get here and many types of glass have been experimented on and you should be thankful for it.
Origins:
Needless to say, the first car invented went pretty slow and didn’t need a windshield, it was only later when powerful engines began powering cars, that windshield became necessary. Even then, float glass was used for windshields thereby keeping the costs low. But when the windows broke, they injured the driver and passenger. French scientist Edouard Benedictus then proposed the use of a glass that was made with cellulose nitrate, which didn’t shatter when it broke. But the high production cost of the glass meant that car manufacturers refused to use it.

World War 1:
During WW1, safety glass was used to make the eyepiece in gas masks. Automakers saw that the glass worked well to protect the soldiers. They debated the use of such glass in vehicles arguing that while it would be much safer, it would also send the cost of the vehicles up, thereby risking sales. However, many of them decided to risk it and safety glass was considered being used to make windshields for cars.

Use in Cars:
In the decade that followed the war, windshields were still not used as much in cars. But when they were used, they still injured many passengers. Resulting in the injuries that followed and the public losing their trust in vehicles, the first use of safety glass in cars was in 1927, leading to its popularity in the years to come.

Popularity:
In 1928, Duplate glass was introduced by the American company Pittsburgh Plate Glass company. Designs were improved upon and safety glass became a common feature in vehicles. By 1966, safety glass could be found in all passenger cars in the country and is now an important safety feature in all cars.

Laminated glass is usually used in Windshields as it is a safety glass that holds together when impacted. It is made by sandwiching between two or more slices of glass, which helps the glass form breaking is called poly vinyl butyral (PVB). This kind of glass for cars keeps you safe and protects you from sudden accident this glass will stay together, and not shatter.

The use of glass as a windshield has evolved from not being used to becoming an important safety measure. From regular glass that injured the passengers to safety glass, windshields have come a long way from simply protecting the passenger from wind to becoming a lifesaver.
Nowadays windshields continue to grow in complexity and sophistication. Windshields are larger and often more raked. Some provide increased visibility with a windshield that extends up into the roof above the driver or one that wraps into the side of the car. Modern windshields can filter 95-99% of UV rays. Since the 90s a hybrid film with dye to absorb heat and metal to ban sun rays has provided significant reduction in infrared (IR) rays and consequent internal heat gain.

All those tall glass buildings you whiz past in your cars are a constant reminder of how glass has moved past beyond its traditional use in windows and mirrors and come a long way to become a reflection of contemporary architecture. Gone are the days when all we could spot were those brick buildings now glass has overtaken it.
All these glass buildings now are the symbol of urbanisation. We encounter glass facades almost everywhere these days as they are known to raise the glamour quotient in any kind of architecture. Increased usage of glass facades for commercial exteriors is instrumental in escalating the aesthetics of a building, not just that, they are even beneficial in terms of energy-efficiency.

The glass product range includes heat includes heat reflective glass, energy efficient reflective glass, solar control glass, tempered burglar proof glass, decor glass, frosted glass, sound resistant glass, impact resistant glass and many more products, in varied thickness, colours and other specifications.
Usage of glass facades are all set to raise the bar to redefine structures. There are variety of glass facades being used which reduces inside temperature comparatively under the sun, ensures longer life of upholstery due to reduced heat, helps lower the use of Air Conditioning, thereby improving fuel efficiency. Not just this they also reduce external noise and vibrations inside cabins, shops etc.

They not just add to the glamour quotient but also reflect elegance and sophistication. These days we come across world class designs being embraced in glass facades. Some are trying to set examples in terms of design, others are trying to find comfort and convenience whereas there are some aiming at both exemplary designs as well as comfort, convenience and energy efficiency.
Glass facades are for sure raising the standards and redefining the exterior architecture.
