WELDING AND GRINDER SPATTER:
TYPES OF GLASS STAINING AND CORROSION WE CAN REMOVE:
WELDING AND GRINDER SPATTER:
Weld and grinder spatter generally effects glass that has been installed.
Where someone has used a grinder or welder close to the glass. The grinder or welder has then thrown off molten hot sparks of fine metal shavings onto the glass.
These molten hot sparks burn into the surface of the glass and are usually classified as deep damage.
This type of glass damage is repairable but it lakes longer to remove and requires much expertise so you are not left with visual distortion.
If it is an expensive, large or bespoke glass panel we can save you tens of thousands by restoring it.
This is suitable for glass panels that have more minor damage that covers only a small area of the glass surface.
Glass panels that have moderate to severe damage that cover much of the glass surface are better replaced.
With smaller or cheaper glass panels and depending on the scope of the damage it may be more cost effective for you to replace the glass.
