Restore clarity back to your glass, at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
WE CAN RESTORE GLASS WITH THE FOLLOWING:
Environmental Glass Damage
Hard Water Stain Removal
Issue:
Hard water stains occur when sprinkler systems, rainwater, or mineral-rich water repeatedly dry on glass surfaces. Over time, calcium and mineral deposits can bond to the glass, creating cloudy white spots that conventional cleaning cannot remove.
Resolution:
Our glass restoration process removes mineral deposits and restores clarity to the glass. In many cases, we can eliminate years of hard water staining without the need for costly glass replacement.
Etching from Hard Water and Mineral Deposits Removal
Issue:
When hard water deposits remain on glass for extended periods, they can begin to etch the surface. This can leave permanent-looking marks that continue to affect visibility even after cleaning.
Resolution:
Depending on the severity of the etching, our restoration process can significantly improve or remove the damage, helping property owners avoid unnecessary glass replacement costs.
Screen Burn and Window Screen Staining Removal
Issue:
Window screens can trap moisture, dirt, and contaminants against the glass. Over time, a hazy pattern matching the screen may become visible, reducing clarity and appearance.
Resolution:
Our restoration process addresses screen-related staining and helps restore the glass to a cleaner, clearer condition.
Heat Haze Removal
Issue:
Excessive heat exposure can cause glass to develop a cloudy, hazy, or distorted appearance. Heat buildup from sunlight, reflective surfaces, nearby construction materials, or prolonged environmental exposure may leave glass looking dull and reduce overall clarity.
Resolution:
Our glass restoration process can improve the appearance of heat-related surface damage and haze. After evaluating the condition of the glass, we determine whether restoration is a practical and cost-effective alternative to replacement.
Sprinkler Stain Removal
Issue:
Commercial storefronts and office buildings often develop stubborn sprinkler stains from irrigation systems. These stains can accumulate over months or years, leaving glass looking dirty even after professional cleaning.
Resolution:
We use specialized glass restoration techniques to remove mineral buildup and improve glass appearance. Restoring the glass is often significantly more cost-effective than replacement.
OUR GLASS RESTORATION PROCESS
Proven and effective
We follow a proven, step by step process to ensure fast, safe and effective results
1 – Damage Assessment
We inspect the glass in person to evaluate the type and thickness of the glass, along with the depth, size, location and height of damage. This assessment allows up to determine the severity of the issue and the safest restoration approach.
2 – Technique Confirmation and Estimate
Based on this assessment we confirm whether full restoration is feasible, determine tools and materials required and provide a detailed written proposal outlining recommended solution and cost.
3 – Immediate Scheduling
Once approved, we schedule your job promptly. Most graffiti removals are scheduled early morning to minimize disruption and for safety.
4 – Restoration and Cleanup
Restoration work is completed on site with minimal disruption using surface safe techniques. Upon completion the glass is thoroughly cleaned and inspected to ensure the glass is left clear, smooth and free of distortion.
HOW WE REMOVE IMPURITIES SUCH AS HEAVY HARD WATER DEPOSITS FROM GLASS
Step 1 – Thorough Surface Cleaning
We thoroughly clean the glass to remove dirt, soap residue, and surface contaminants before treating the mineral deposits.
Step 2 – Hard Water and Mineral Deposit Removal
We use professional grade compounds specifically designed to break down and remove hard water and mineral deposits.
Step 3 – Final Polishing
After the deposits have been removed, we perform a thorough final polish to refine the surface and restore clarity and a clean uniform appearance.
IF THE GLASS HAS BEEN ETCHED
When hard water deposits have been left untreated, minerals can permanently etch into the glass. In these cases the above steps alone will not restore the surface, we need to grind the etch out.
Step 1 – Grind
Remove damaged layer of glass using controlled abrasive techniques.
Step 2 – Refine
Progressively refine the surface to eliminate grinding marks and begin to restore clarity.
Step 3 – Polish
Finish with a professional glass polishing process to restore full clarity and functionality of the glass.
