Your First Choice for Windscreen Repair
Title
Windscreen Wizards has been founded to offer an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional windscreen replacement or repair. As many other windscreen repair companies also offer a replacement service, they often find it a simpler and more profitable option to replace rather than repair a cracked or chipped windscreen. We prefer the safe and environmentally option of repair, restoring the strength and clarity of the screen.
 Here at Windscreen Wizards, we ONLY repair, so if we can’t fix your windscreen we don’t get your work! By developing techniques and equipment devised in the US, our highly experienced team have designed our own British made, vacuum injector which we use in conjunction with our finest quality own-brand resin, enabling us to repair damaged areas of glass which other companies cannot or will not fill.
Our Commitment To The Environment
Repairing a windscreen is not only cost-effective, it is good for the environment too!

Here at Windscreen Wizards, we are committed to protecting the environment in which we live and work, and as such we are dedicated to sourcing the most environmentally friendly products for our Wizard process.

Apart from anything else, repairing a windscreen is far more environmentally friendly than replacement. Standard 3 layer laminated windscreens are currently not recycled, which means that old screens go straight to landfill. By decreasing the amount of glass that goes into landfills, and reducing the need for new glass manufacturing and transportation, we can make a positive environmental impact.

The more that we all participate in reducing the use of raw materials and the energy needed to produce glass, the better off our environment will be, making glass repair the only environmentally friendly option.
Did you know?

  • In Europe, 9 million windshields are replaced annually. At an average weight of 11.3kgs each, this equates to about 102 million kgs of waste per year.

  • Glass takes more than 1 million years to decompose in our landfills.

  • Windscreen glass is difficult to recycle because much of the glass is 2-ply laminated and contains a PVB layer that must be separated. Integrated heating elements or radio antenna are often embedded within the windshields and cannot be returned to the glass furnace for reworking.(1)

  • The transportation of glass, which is a relatively heavy product, throughout the supply chain results in high levels gf transport-related CO2 emissions.(2)
    		•
  • Glass manufacturing is a high-temperature, energy-intensive activity, resulting in the emission of combustion by-products (sulphur dioxide, cargo dioxide and nitrogen oxides) and the high-tempurature oxidation of atmospheric nitrogen.(3)

  • It takes 15.2 millions BTUs of energy to produce one ton of glass. The manufacturing of one ton of glass can generate as much as 174.6kgs of mining waste and 12.7kgs of air pollutants. like the production of other materials, glass manufacturing and usage has negative impacts on the environment.(4)

  • Thousands of repairs can be carried out for the equivalent environmental impact of 1 replacement.
