The thing I look for most when I get a new windshield is distortion artifact.

I once got some off brand glass (the installer said that they would use PPG, but they didn't) and there was a visible distortion about 2/3 the way up the windshield. I took it back and reminded them that they promised me PPG and two hours later I had it. That was Pilsen auto glass in Chicago.....

I would examine it from different angles and make sure that there aren't any spots with image distortion........ To me, that's the most irritating aspects of some off brand glass. BTW, I've never heard of that brand before, but that doesn't mean anything since auto glass really isn't my specialty.

Good luck!
