Thanks so much Novus for such great service. We suffered a cracked windscreen in the far north recently. Both your reps in several Northland towns & your serviceman Mata, were efficient, helpful and friendly. Great Job!

What our customers have to say about us
Temperature is not good for a windshield. It may be tempting to pour hot water on your cold windshield to help speed up the defrosting process but do not do this. It will cause the windshield to crack or break.
The extreme temperature difference causes the glass to expand and then ultimately, crack.

A woman named Mary Anderson invented windshield wipers in 1903. She was in New York City and noticed that a trolly car could not keep the falling snow cleared from its windshield, so she applied for a patent to create the early version of the windshield wiper.

Originally, windshields were just made out of normal glass and could easily shatter upon impact. It wasn’t until the early 20th century that the shatterproof laminated glass used in windshields today was invented.
A French chemist by the name of Edouard Benedictus invented shatter-resistant glass. It wasn’t used in automobiles until the 1920s.

In the early days of automobiles, windshields were a luxury. Windshields were an optional and extra feature that could be purchased for cars.
If you could spare the extra money you could purchase a windshield for your vehicle. If not, then goggles and scarves would be your only protection against wind and other elements!

You might think that slab of glass that you look out of every day when you're driving to work is pretty boring right?
Well, we think it's a pretty cool piece of kit actually, and over the next few posts, we're going to tell you why we LOVE it!
