OEM windshields and vehicle glass from Sonepat

CLSG started in 1987 making laminated OEM windshields, and vehicle glass still runs through the plant every day for vehicle makers, coach builders and state transport fleets. Unlike most auto glass suppliers, we laminate in our own plant rather than buying in and reselling, so one conversation covers the drawing, approvals and dispatch.

01 Laminated windshields

A laminated windshield holds together

A laminated windshield is two layers of glass bonded to a PVB interlayer. When a stone hits, the glass cracks but sticks to the PVB, so the driver keeps a screen in front. The same principle sits behind our REAL SAFE Laminated Glass for buildings.

02 Toughened vehicle glass

Car tempered glass for side and rear

Side and rear windows are often toughened, the glass the trade calls car tempered glass. It's heat treated so that if it breaks, it falls into small blunt pieces instead of long shards. We make it alongside our laminated windshields and quote both by model.

Laminated or toughened?

Two kinds of automotive glass

Where each one goes on a vehicle comes down to what should happen when it breaks.

Before you order

Automotive glass buyer checklist

Whether you build buses, run a truck fleet or source glass for a new body, the same few details decide how fast a quote comes back and how well the glass fits. Settle them first and we can price the laminated windshield, side glass and back glass in one go.

  • Make, model and yearOr the body builder's name and drawing number for a custom body.
  • Every position you needWindshield, doors, sides, rear and quarter lights, with a count for each.
  • Laminated or toughenedWindshields are laminated. Side and rear panes are usually toughened.
  • Holes, notches and edgesMarked on the drawing, since toughened glass can't be drilled later.
  • Approvals your buyer asks forIf a tender names ARAI, CIRT or an OEM approval, say so up front.
  • Volume and deliveryOne screen or a running OEM order; ex-works Sonepat or delivered, GST extra.

None of this is a hurdle. A photo of the old glass and the model name is enough to start, and our team fills any gaps on a call.

Inside the plant

How a laminated windscreen is made at CLSG

Laminated and toughened automotive glass take different routes through the same plant. Click a stage below for what happens at it.

1
Cut
Clear float glass from Saint-Gobain and Emirates Float Glass is cut to the pattern for your model, edged and bent before the layers meet the PVB.
2
Bond
The glass layers and the PVB interlayer are pressed together and bonded under heat and pressure in an autoclave, using equipment from Bottero of Italy and Tamglass of Finland.
3
Toughen
Side and rear glass is cut, edged and drilled first, since nothing can change after toughening, then heated and quenched with air.
4
Dispatch
Each screen is checked against the drawing before it leaves the plant, ex-works Sonepat or delivered on quote.

Questions

Automotive glass FAQs

Do you make OEM windshields?

Yes. We make laminated windshields for vehicle makers and body builders, and have done since 1987. Automotive glass from our plant is approved by ARAI and CIRT Pune.

Do you replace windshields for car owners?

No. We supply glass to vehicle makers, coach builders and fleets. We don't run a replacement or fitting service for private cars.

What is the difference between a laminated windshield and car tempered glass?

A laminated windshield is two layers of glass bonded to a PVB interlayer, so it cracks but stays in one piece. Car tempered glass, also called toughened glass, is a single heat-treated pane that breaks into small blunt pieces. Windshields are laminated; many side and rear windows are toughened.

Which approvals does your automotive glass hold?

ARAI Pune and CIRT Pune approvals, plus e-certification from UTAC, France and RDW, Netherlands for specific models made for OEMs. The plant runs to IATF 16949:2016, certificate 0444022 issued by SGS.

Can you supply glass for an old vehicle model?

Often, yes. Send the model, the part you need and a drawing or sample if you have one. We'll tell you whether we can make it and quote by model.

Is a laminated windscreen the same as a laminated windshield?

Yes. Windscreen is the usual word in India and the UK, windshield in the US. Both mean the front glass, and both are laminated so the screen cracks but stays in the frame.

Do you make tempered glass windshields?

No. Our windshields are laminated, because a broken front screen has to stay in place. Toughened glass, called tempered glass in the US, goes into side windows, rear glass and cabin panes.

Why do auto glass suppliers ask for a drawing?

Toughened glass can't be cut, drilled or edged after toughening, so every hole and notch is made first. For a laminated windshield, the drawing fixes the size and curve so the screen sits right in its frame.

Where is your automotive glass made?

At our plant in Village Sevli (P.S. Rai), Distt. Sonepat, Haryana 131029. The office is HSG House, D-3, Prashant Vihar, New Delhi 110085. Glass goes out ex-works Sonepat or delivered on quote.
