Scratched Bi-Fold Doors | 5 Step Restoration

In this blog we show step by step how to repair scratched glass bi-fold doors, we remove glass scratches caused by a cleaner using a scraper incorrectly

ClearAll were called to a domestic address by a customer who needed scratched glass repair to 3 bi-fold doors due to multiple glass scratches, caused by a cleaner using a metal scraper incorrectly

 

Unfortunately the scraper had left the 3 bi-fold doors with numerous glass scratches to remove which were very noticeable, especially in the afternoon when the sun was on the glass showing just how badly scratched the bi-fold doors were

Luckily we know how to remove scratches from glass and in a matter of hours the bi-folds doors were as good as new!

Stage 1. Remove scratches from glass

*Although there are 3 scratched bi-fold doors we work them all as one completing each step on all 3 scratched bi-fold doors before moving on to the next step

Starting with our 2nd roughest grit sanding disc we remove the glass scratches, growing these areas as we cut until they join and become one area

We now sand the scratched glass bi-fold doors growing the area evenly so as not to distort the glass during the glass polishing process until all visible traces of the glass scratches are removed

The main focus of this stage of glass polishing is keeping the glass flat whilst we remove the glass scratches

Once we are happy with our area we move on the the next stage of scratched glass repair

Stage 2. Remove all traces of previous glass polishing process

We now sand the glass again but this time with a finer grit sanding disc

By now the glass scratches should be removed so the main focus of this stage is working the area evenly as one to guarantee the full removal of the previous stage whilst still keeping the glass flat so as not to distort it during the glass repair process

When we have gone over our area 2-3 times, not forgetting to slightly increase its size, we check that all traces of the previous glass polishing stage and all glass scratches are removed

Once we are happy with our area we move on to the next stage

Stage 3. Remove all traces of previous glass polishing process

 

We once again cut the glass but this time with an even finer grit cutting disc

As with the previous stage the glass scratches should be gone so the main focus of this stage is working the area evenly as one to guarantee the full removal of the previous stage whilst still keeping the glass flat so as not to distort it during the glass polishing process

When we have gone over our area 2-3 times, not forgetting to slightly increase its size, we check that all traces of the previous glass polishing stage and all glass scratches are removed

Once we are happy with our area we move on to the next stage

Stage 5. Polish the glass to restore clarity

We have now cut the glass to a point where it is fine enough to be polished

We now use a polishing pad and polish to remove the previous stage of the glass polishing process and bring the glass back to its original clarity

When we have gone over our area 2-3 times we check that all traces of the previous glass polishing stage and all glass scratches are gone
