Urgent Mobile Windscreen Repairs
Your car’s windscreen is not only there to shield you from wind and debris but also plays a vital role in maintaining the structural integrity of the vehicle. It provides support to the roof, contributes to airbag deployment, and enhances the overall rigidity of the car during a collision. However, even a small stone chip can compromise these functions if left unattended.
Causes and Types of Stone Chips
Stone chips are a common occurrence on the road, caused by small rocks or debris kicked up by other vehicles or environmental factors. These chips can vary in size and severity, ranging from tiny surface nicks to larger, deeper impacts. Common types of stone chips include bullseye chips (circular damage with a cone in the outer layer), star breaks (radiating cracks from the impact point), and combination chips (a mix of different chip types).
