When looking for a replacement, it’s tempting to choose the lowest price available. However, in a place like Dubai—where the sun is intense and road conditions can be harsh—the quality of the glass you choose is a matter of both safety and long-term savings.

At DealGlass Dubai, we don’t just "install glass"; we restore your vehicle’s original safety standards.

1. Optical Clarity and Vision

Cheap, low-quality windscreens often have subtle "waves" or distortions in the glass.

  • The Risk: This can cause eye strain, headaches, and even misjudgment of distances while driving at night or in heavy traffic on the E11.

  • The DealGlass Standard: We provide OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or OEE (Original Equipment Equivalent) glass that offers crystal-clear HD vision.

2. Heat Resistance and UV Protection

Dubai's temperatures can reach 50°C. High-quality glass is designed to handle extreme thermal expansion.

  • Solar Control: Our premium windscreens feature advanced solar coatings that reflect UV rays. This keeps your cabin cooler, protects your leather interior from cracking, and reduces the load on your Air Conditioning.

  • The Danger of Cheap Glass: Lower-grade glass lacks these coatings, making your car feel like an oven and potentially leading to cracks just from the temperature difference between the AC and the outside heat.

3. Acoustic Comfort (Silence is Luxury)

Did you know that high-quality windscreens often have an "Acoustic" layer?

  • Noise Reduction: This special interlayer dampens wind and engine noise.

  • The Difference: Choosing a "budget" alternative often results in a much noisier cabin, stripping away the premium feel of your car.

4. Safety: The Lamination Factor

A quality windscreen is a "sandwich" of glass and a high-strength plastic interlayer (PVB).

  • Impact Resistance: In the event of a stone chip or an accident, quality lamination ensures the glass holds together, preventing shards from injuring the passengers.

  • Structural Support: Premium glass is tested to support the roof of your car in the event of a rollover.
