The current modern car is the prototype of a spacecraft. And with options such as a panoramic roof, this statement is beyond doubt. But this design has a number of advantages and disadvantages.
Panoramic roof advantages
As soon as modern engineers of the world auto industry are not kicked out, luring as many customers as possible into their networks. A fashionable novelty of auto-constructors is a panoramic roof, which is a roof of a car of a standard configuration, only made of heavy-duty composite glass. Due to its mechanical properties, this kind of roof is not inferior in strength to its predecessor metal roof.
1. The panoramic roof creates a feeling of huge space in the cabin and is especially impressive for those people who first get into the cabin of such a car.
2. This option provides an additional overview and improves the visibility of traffic lights at intersections.
3. Of course, due to the dark shade of the roof, the car acquires individuality.
4. Even in heavy rain, there is absolutely no drumming sound of rain in the cabin, such as that occurs on standard steel roofs of cars.
This is where the advantages of this design end.
Disadvantages of a panoramic roof
According to users, this design has its drawbacks.
1. The very first drawback, which was noted by car owners who have cars with a panoramic roof, is the lack of a power resource for the heating and cooling systems of the car. It was noticed that due to the fact that glass is a good heat conductor, in the summer period from strong heating of the glass, this heat is largely transferred to the car interior. Also in winter: the interior absorbs cold, which is accumulated and transmitted by the roof glass. But to reduce these influences, you can use an electric shutter, which can be closed at the touch of a button. Such a step will allow not only to hide from direct sunlight, but also to create a certain effect of insulation.
2. This roof, due to its design features, is not entirely comfortable for people with a height above average.
3. It is also worth noting that in winter, with a permanently closed roof curtain, an ice layer may form on its glass due to the fact that the inner surface area does not warm up enough.
4. Due to the peculiarity of the device of the shutter mechanism, it is very delicate and requires careful attitude.
The choice of a panoramic roof or a conservative metal roof, each car owner argues in his own way. For some, fashion is important, but for others, reliability.
