Scratches on glass are usually caused either accidentally or maliciously by a hard metal or ceramic object making contact with it.
We remove scratches from glass caused by a variety of reasons such as contractors on building sites accidentally hitting it with tools and materials and scaffolding scuffing against it.
A large number of scratches on glass are caused by post construction cleaners incorrectly using scrapers when attempting to remove building and painting debris. Then there are those who attempt to remove stains from windows using brillo pads and even wire wool.
Occasionally we get asked to remove scratches from glass caused by window cleaners who have used dirty water and transferred grit onto a window using a squeegee or cloth scratching the glass as they clean.
Then unfortunately there are also the malicious vandals with their knives, screwdrivers, sets of keys or even solutions of acid causing graffiti on glass, needing specialist glass polishing services to remove.
The process of repairing scratched glass and acid-etched glass looks a fairly simple process but like many things in life it takes experience, patience and knowledge to be able to do it right, so what do we do?
Before we can start the repairs we determine the type of glass about to be worked on, whether it has any flaws, small scratches and cracks, especially at its edges. A close inspection of the area to be repaired and its proximity to the edge of the glass is noted. We can then take this information into consideration for heat build up and pressure used during the scratched glass restoration process.
Varying grades of flat abrasive pads are then used to carefully grind the glass flat to the depth of the scratch whilst feathering the area out to ensure that no distortion is caused to the glass as it is polished.
The cloudiness that occurs as a consequence of grinding is then finely polished out using cerium oxide compound to restore the glass surface back to its original clarity.
However severe the damage ClearAll Glass Repairs can restore your scratched glass in-situ saving you up to 80% of the potential costs for the replacement of your units.
