Hailstorms and Your Windshield: Why You Should Seek Windshield Repair in Calgary

2 MIN READ | NOVEMBER 18, 2024

Calgary’s weather can be unpredictable, especially during the winter months. One minute, it’s sunny, and the next, you’re caught in a hailstorm. While hail may seem relatively harmless at first, it can cause significant damage to your vehicle, particularly your windshield, leaving you forced to schedule windshield repair or even windshield replacement in Calgary. Even seemingly minor chips or cracks can worsen over time, compromising your safety on the road.

How Hail Damage Affects Your Windshield

Hailstones can strike your windshield with considerable force. This impact can lead to:

  • Chips and Cracks: These are the most common types of hail damage. Small chips might seem insignificant, but they can quickly spread and turn into larger cracks.
  • Weakened Glass: Even if a hailstorm doesn’t cause immediate damage, it can weaken your windshield’s structural integrity, making it more susceptible to further damage from even minor debris.
  • Reduced Visibility: Cracks and chips, especially in the driver’s line of sight, can significantly impair visibility, increasing the risk of accidents.

Why Prompt Repair is Necessary When Winter Weather Hits

Winter in Calgary brings its own set of challenges, all of which can wreak havoc on your windshield—especially if it’s already damaged:

  • Freezing Temperatures: Water can seep into existing cracks and freeze, causing them to expand and worsen.
  • Snow and Ice: The weight of snow and ice accumulation on a damaged windshield can further stress the glass, leading to more extensive cracks.
  • Reduced Visibility: Winter driving conditions already reduce visibility. A damaged windshield further compounds this issue, making it even more dangerous to navigate icy roads.

Calgary’s climate isn’t just about hailstorms and snow. Extreme temperature fluctuations, common in Alberta year-round, can also affect your windshield. The glass expands and contracts with temperature changes, and existing chips or cracks can worsen due to this stress. Additionally, harsh sunlight in the summer can weaken the glass over time.

Schedule Your Windshield Replacement or Windshield Repair in Calgary

If your windshield has suffered hail damage or any other type of damage, it’s important to address it promptly, especially with the arrival of winter weather. A damaged windshield compromises your safety and, in some cases, could break the law.
