heated glass

Frost-clearing windshield feature

Heated glass is glass that has been warmed, typically to make it pliable for shaping or to prevent thermal shock.

In glassblowing and manufacturing, heating glass allows it to be molded, bent, or fused.

Heated glass windshields and mirrors use embedded electrical elements to defrost or demist: The heated glass cleared within seconds.
