While the inner and outer layer of the windscreen is laminated, which makes the pieces stick together if broken. The car window on the other hand is tempered, which means if it is broken, the pieces are scattered inside or outside the car. Window tinting has been shown to prevent this scattering. Roadworthy inspection can be carried out on both to ascertain the safety of the vehicle. As in the case of windscreen replacement, the cracked window of a vehicle is usually replaced when the damage has compromised the structural integrity of the vehicle.\r\rThe cost of replacing the window of a car is not as high as windscreen replacement. This however depends on the model of the car. Expectedly, the cost for a Toyota Prado will be different from a Ferrari.

awnings offer fantastic cover and shade from the sun light and rain when needed while letting in lots of fresh air in a cost-friendly way. They can also prove to be a great place to attach a strip light too. \r\rWhen exposed to wind, they can be unpredictable though as they can roll into your car or smack your van on its side with serious force if not secured properly to the rack or bars with bolts. If you don't have a roof rack attached onto your vehicle but no awning available yet, you should consider the following steps to avoid this from happening.\r\rIn order to mount your awning without a roof rack, you will need to determine how far does the roof line and mounting points extend from the centre of the awning brackets as well as how much lift your vehicle's wind profile provides. \r\rWith this information, you are able to figure out the maximum length of strap that is required in order to minimise any excessive slack that could lead to damage and your vehicle can still fit inside your garage.\r\rMany people that own vehicles without a roof rack choose to mount their awning bracket to the spare tire carrier. This may cause some trouble for those with pop-up or swing away carriers as these hang significantly lower than standard bolt-on units. \r\rHowever, it may also be difficult to suit those who have mounted their spare tire up high on their tailgate door. A piece of plywood can solve this problem by providing a place for your straps to rest on as well as additional support and stabilisation by distributing the weight across its surface more evenly. \r\rIf you plan on strapping down both sides of your awning arms at the same time, you may find it to be more suitable to mount the plywood slightly above the tie-down points to account for any variance in your vehicle's profile.\r\rSome may choose mounting their awning along the edge or side walls of their car or truck near the back doors instead of roof racks. While this provides an excellent location for those who need quick and easy access to their awning, those with swing-away carriers should not try this as it could potentially hit your carrier and bend/break its hinges. \r\rThose with pop up carriers can use similar support braces as mentioned earlier, but they will need to be careful that straps do not interfere with any mechanisms on their arms that would cause them not to deploy properly. You also have to take into consideration that when you open your rear door, the strap is going to go right into it and can cause damage when closing.\r\rAs a final step, keep in mind that no matter what method you use to mount your awning, from roof racks and back doors, it must be strong enough to hold its weight - this means any mounting brackets or straps will require a vehicle-specific approach because all vehicles offer a different set of options in which to anchor yourself down. \r\rIt's important to note that when using ratchet straps for securing your awning, they should never be used alone. Larger models come with built-in hooks at their ends which enable them to connect together by simply slipping one inside the other. This gives you a secure connection with fewer bolts and less overall strap length required to hold your awning down, which would suit best if you are using straps that do not have hooks on them as they would slip right through your ratchet's hook. \r\rAdditionally, it is recommended to use a kayak stacker bar with a standard 2\" strap around it for extra stability and holding power - this can be found at any camping store. Also, you can attach insulating foam or fibreglass to your awnings in order to increase the overall insulation.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How do you attach awnings to roof rails?","text":"Roof rails can prove to be a great awning alternative to roof racks as every standard set of roof bars will have metal clasps on them to which you can attach your awning poles. \r\rWhen mounting the arms to the bars with bolts and washers, it's recommended to use two per side up top with at least one more on each side near the bottom so that you are able to drive away without feeling any discomfort in your awning shifting around due to wind. \r\rThis is likely required for larger-sized models as they can reach upwards of 9ft when completely extended and require three or more arms in order to maintain proper stability. \r\rYou also need to take into consideration where exactly you are planning on attaching these arms. They cannot obstruct your car's rear hatch door from opening/closing properly, otherwise, they might end up getting damaged when you close your door. In addition, they must not interfere with any brake lights that may be installed in the rear window of your van. \r\rNo matter what type of awning you purchase, most awnings come with instructional guidelines for proper installation, so make sure to read them carefully and keep them for future reference in case you ever need to move or remove your awning from its mounts in the future. Make sure you store your awning correctly, otherwise you might have to clean off mould.\r\rAdditionally, investing in a good mounting kit with important accessories and tools can also make the overall job easier and more cost effective.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How do you mount an awning to a canopy?","text":"If your van doesn't have a roof rack, all awnings can also be attached to an existing canopy tent, but it will need to have compatible hardware in order for the mounting arms to connect properly. \r\rIf you are installing your awning brackets on top of an already installed canopy instead of a roof rack, it will likely suit best to purchase an extra set of support poles that attach underneath the arms themselves - this may not always be necessary depending on how sturdy and well bolted your canopy is or how much weight your specific model's armature has been designed to handle. \r\rIn some cases, it might be necessary to have your canopy's legs removed and replaced with a stronger design and position that can better support the weight of an awning. \r\rIf you are planning on installing an awning bracket onto a stand-alone or new canopy tent, you will need to ensure that the canopy itself has compatible hardware.

This is especially important with a motorhome and van as their side panels aren't quite as sturdy as the roofs racks. \r\rYou can also purchase awning mounts that are designed to work specifically with your vehicle's existing hardware if you don't mind the extra cost for it. \r\rNo matter how you decide to mount your awning roof racks, in the end, it will all depend on what kind of awning you plan on using and how heavy-duty it is.

If you're trying to strip old paint, use a two-step process: first by applying a heavy-duty or professional stripper and then caustic soda (sodium hydroxide). Prior to application, protect plants and grass near the fence with polythene sheeting since they can be killed if exposed to direct contact with chemicals with more paint.\r\rFill cracks in wood caused by termites or rot using a wood filler.\r\rSand any rough areas on the fence or any patches of previously painted surfaces using a masonry hand pad prior to painting it.

is when you will usually get the cost. In order to get an accurate price of labour and materials, you'll need this information and also in figuring out how much does it cost per square metre to get the final price.\r\rThe more basic colours you have in your colour scheme for the paint job, the less complicated it will be to prepare and apply correctly and the less cost to paint. The painting process itself will be much more simple and quick, which can have a positive effect on cost in the house interior.\r\rKeep it simple and don't go overboard with a massive hue scheme in the paint job as the cost to paint will also go up like this. Preparation work takes time, so if you have multiple colours or intricate designs in mind, be prepared to pay an extra cost for them.\r\rOn average, it will cost between $3,000 and $4,000 to completely paint a 2 bedroom apartment for house painting and not all painters will have the same rates per hour.

The ceiling will also need to be painted.\r\rYou'll need to go over every surface and clean it to prepare for house painting. This allows for proper adhesion between your paint coatings which makes it more durable in the long run. Finally, you'll want to make sure there aren't any loose particles on your walls by washing and drying them before going ahead with painting.\r\rThis is a labour-intensive part of the process.\r\rAfter that, it's time to paint!

This job is important to get good results and can determine the cost of painting.\r\rYou'll want to remove all furniture from the room and cover the floor with heavy plastic sheeting all over the house. Cover all electric sockets and switches and any other surfaces that you don't want to be painted. If you're getting a painter to do that the cost to paint a house will go up as per the job in the house.\r\rDepending on the paint manufacturer's instructions, you may need to sand down your walls or just wash them to get rid of greasy deposits such as sap, soot and dirt and other materials in the house before the painter begins the work. If so, use a sanding machine with 180-200 grit sandpaper followed by cleaning with soap and water again.

Expect to pay the painters more for bigger rooms with multiple walls, a higher ceiling, greater design intricacies, doors, materials and ceilings.

Latex paint can last anywhere between 6-12 months under normal conditions without peeling, flaking or chipping before you'll need to repaint again and has low cost of painting.\r\rOil-based paints are known for their durability, glossiness and colour richness even with a single undercoat in an apartment but do require proper ventilation during application due to the strong odour they produce while drying after two finishing coats.
