The traditional wiper blades used since the very first vehicle had them back in the 1920s are known as the standard or frame-style wipers. This type of car wiper in Singapore is not as common and it's made of a metal framework that holds a strip of rubber. Despite being able to make multiple contact points with the windscreen, these wiper blades are not aerodynamic. They create a lot of noise especially when travelling at motorway speeds but are the most affordable wipers you can get.

With a beam-style wiper blade, you get a more modern solution that not only stays in contact with the windscreen better than a frame-style wiper but it's also sleeker. The flexibility of beam-style wipers allows it to stay in contact with curved windscreens better than a frame-style wiper can but a beam-style wiper isn't as affordable as a frame-style wiper blade. Beam-style wipers are more aerodynamic though and create less drag and thus less noise or no noise at all.

A hybrid wiper blade makes use of the cost-effective frame of a conventional car wiper while it also utilises the aerodynamic profile of a beam-style wiper. Hybrid car wipers for sale are therefore the best at providing a good point of contact no matter the design of the windscreen, the speed you're travelling at or weather conditions. They make for the most effective wiper blades as well as the most stylish ones if that's something you want from a wiper blade. They are both durable and easy to take on and off without costing a fortune.

While the style of the wiper blade affects its performance and durability, its attachment affects its compatibility. Make sure that your new car wipers for sale can be installed onto the end of your wiper arm and doing so means the wiper blade comes with the correct attachment. There are multiple different ones labelled by letters and if you don't know which one to get, just get a universal car wiper in Singapore that comes with all the attachments and you can choose the one based on the end of the wiper arm.

There are materials other than rubber a wiper blade can have and if you want one that will last a lot longer you should go for silicone wiper blades. They last 2x longer than rubber ones and they also perform better in cold weather. Silicone wiper blades also leave a coating on the windscreen every time they go over it which helps make water drops slide off the windscreen. You can also get ceramic-coated blades which are able to last a lot longer than both rubber and silicone blades no matter the weather conditions they're exposed to.

1. To replace your current wiper blades with new ones you need to first lift the wiper arms away from the windscreen in order to not damage it when replacing the wiper blades.

2. Next, locate the latch or clip on the wiper arm which is what holds the wiper arm in place. Once you've found it remove the current wiper blade from the wiper arm by holding the latter with one hand and unlatching the blade with the other.

3. Once the old wiper blades are off, get the new ones and attach them to the wiper arm in the same way you removed the old ones, just in reverse. With that done you can put the wiper arms back on the windscreen and test them out but not without windscreen washer fluid.

4. Always make sure you use windscreen washer fluid when using the wipers unless it's raining, otherwise you are shortening the lifespan of the blade and causing damage to the surface of the windscreen.
