Most drivers judge wipers simply by whether they “wipe clean or not.”
But behind that simple motion lies decades of automotive engineering, materials science, and design evolution.
Let’s explore why there are so many types of wiper blades—and how to choose the one that truly fits your car.
1. Types of Wiper Blades
Each wiper design was created to suit different vehicles, climates, and driving conditions.
- Metal (Conventional Frame): Uses multiple metal pressure points to distribute force across the rubber strip. Affordable, but prone to rust and wind lift.
- Frameless (Beam Type): A modern, aerodynamic design with a single spring steel beam. Sleek, quiet, and provides even pressure.
- Hybrid Type: Combines the strength of a metal frame with the streamlined appearance of a beam wiper—durable and stylish.
- Multi-Segment Type: Common on large windshields or premium vehicles, ensuring consistent pressure and excellent contact across the glass.
