Which type of glass is defined as 'all glass other than windshield'?

• A. Laminated Glass
• B. Tempered Glass
• C. Quarter Glass
• D. Back Glass

Answer: (B)

In auto glass terminology, the windshield is laminated because it needs to hold together as a barrier. All other glazing on a vehicle—such as side windows, rear windows, and smaller panes like quarter glass—is tempered. Tempered glass is heat-treated to be stronger and, if it breaks, it fragments into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards, which reduces injury and makes replacement easier. So when the description says “all glass other than windshield,” it refers to tempered glass, the standard for those non-windshield panes. Laminated glass is specifically used for windshields, not the broad category of all other glass.
