They are very hot and impact the surface of the glass with a lot of force. The metal particles are fixed to the surface of the glass at times up to 0.7/0.8 mm. This could render the glass unsuitable to be used and may require replacing it.Preventive measures can help minimise the damage caused by welding and grinding. Covering the area of work with paper or tape is an effective method of protecting the work surface. This can also prevent dust from escaping onto the glass.

Cracks and chips reflect light, which can cause you to lose your vision while driving and make you lose control of your vehicle.Depending on the type of crack or chip it is possible to repair it.
