If your windscreen is suffering from a chip or crack, it’s important to identify the exact type to ensure the most appropriate remedial action is taken to fix it. From star breaks and bull’s eye cracks to half moon and floater cracks, the damage can take on several different forms. Take a look at our infographic to learn more about the different types of windscreen cracks and what they look like.
Unfortunately, windscreen damage is a common problem amongst drivers. Take a look at the following list to find out the most prevalent causes of windscreen chips and cracks:
- Direct impact: this can be caused by a car accident, something being thrown at the windscreen or animals on the road
- Hail
- Temperature: dramatic changes in temperature can cause the glass to expand and crack
- Flying stones/ gravel/ road debris
- Direct sunlight: intense heat can crack the windscreen or cause the glass to warp
- Structural pressure/ poor installation: the quality of glass or the manufacturing process can cause the glass to crack
Leaving your car out in the sun or in the cold can cause the edges of the windscreen to become more brittle and crack. As such, it’s recommended that you store your vehicle in an insulated space, such as your garage.
Any stress or pressure on the windscreen can cause a crack or chip on your windscreen to spread. This can happen for a number of reasons:
- Buildup of moisture between the layers of glass
- Accumulation of dirt between the layers of glass
- Extreme temperatures
- Sunlight
- Hitting bumps in the road

Did you know...
The name “Cranbrook” comes from the Old English cran broc, meaning “crane marsh”.
This is because Cranbrook used to be a marshy, boggy area that was a popular nesting spot for herons and cranes.
During the 19th century, Cranbrook was home to the Cranbrook Colony
a collection of exceptionally talented artists who made it their mission to paint scenes of domestic life in rural Kent.
Four different windmills have existed in Cranbrook
but only one stands today: the Union Mill. It was built in 1814 for Henry Dobell.
