Seeing the Road Ahead: Protecting, Repairing and Replacing Windscreens

A chipped windscreen does more than just mar the view. Chips lead to cracks, which reduce visibility and could cause accidents. As a volunteer in a busy emergency room for years, I saw a lot of traffic accident victims, and an appalling number of them were in accidents that were linked to windscreen cracks. For years, I wondered what more I could do to help, and I finally realised that I simply needed to get the word out. This blog is my way of getting the word out. It is dedicated to the victims who weren't lucky enough to hear about the risks of cracked glass. It focuses on protecting your vehicle's glass, repairing it when problems arise and understanding when you should replace it. I hope that the information here informs you and helps to keep you and yours safe.

Frequently Asked Questions for a Better Understanding of Below-Slab Vapour Barriers

Posted on October 17, 2016

Polyethylene builder's film is an instrumental tool in the construction industry. It helps you keep out unwanted moisture when the concrete begins to cure. If too much moisture finds its way into a fresh slab at this stage, it will weaken the bonds between the concrete granules and the structural rebar used to support the building. With below-slab vapour barriers (polyethylene builder's film), you can ensure that moisture doesn't find its way into slabs and into the foundation over the course of the building's existence.
