Modern car glazing is a prominent feature of a vehicle and a key element in design and styling with steep angles of rake, flush mounting and shapes that blend into the bodywork to improve aerodynamics and reduce wind noise. This presents a challenge to suppliers in the glass industry in terms of the achievement of more complex surface designs for windscreens, together with satisfactory transmitted and reflected optical quality and performance.
