Many commercial buildings develop glass stains due to exposure to the elements, high amounts of tap water from sprinkler system over-spray, minerals leaching from adjacent precast surfaces and inferior products used to maintain a building. Removing mineral stains and etching from window glass in Oklahoma City, OK is our specialty.

Architectural windows are subjected to severe conditions which may result in damage to the surface of the glass. This damage is unable to be removed with standard window cleaning procedures and requires glass restoration in order to remove the glass stains and spots. Etched windows have a cloudy appearance that makes the windows look dirty from both the interior and the exterior of the building despite having your windows cleaned on a regular basis.

Commercial glass scratch removal saves a considerable amount of money when compared to glass replacement. Glass surfaces can be sanded and polished down to remove the damaged surface of the glass removing the scratch from the finish. If performed correctly you will never be able to tell the scratch was on the glass.

When scrapers are used to remove paint or caulking from glass windows, they often get scratched. Improper glass restoration products or improper use of glass restoration products can also inflict scratching to a glass surface creating a stainless steel look for glass. Scrapers used during the construction clean-up process can also scratch glass. In our experience, the majority of window scratches occur during the construction phase and are usually not noticed until later. We can even remove deep scratches that other contractors are unable to remove.

Glass scratch removal in Oklahoma City, OK is a highly specialized service that requires qualified management and technicians, the proper products, and extensive experience. Improper products and techniques can result in severely scratched or burned, and noticeably damaged glass. Industry-standard techniques often use harsh, abrasive products in an attempt to remove stains from the highly polished glass surface. This causes severe scratches in the glass. Other industry-standard techniques involve the use of harsh acids that can leave burns in the glass and surrounding architectural materials creating a hazed look. Our technique completely removes stains from the glass without leaving any scratches or burns and produces a highly reflective finish.

We have effectively completed glass scratch removal services for contractors and glaziers consisting of thousands of windows per job on high-rise buildings. Our glass scratch removal services were appreciated by the contractor because we were able to remove the scratches for a fraction of the cost of replacement, and we were able to complete the project faster than if the contractor were to replace the glass.

We use high-performance glass protective treatments and or glass protection that can be applied to architectural window glass surfaces that will help to prevent the further development of glass stains as well as glass scratching. One such product called Glass Defender MD will install a rubberized, silicone protective coating, that will last on the surface of the glass for many years to come - helping to prevent stains and scratches. When stains such as minerals come in contact with the glass surface they will reside on the protective coating instead of easily adhering to the microscopic cracks and crevices of the glass surface. As well, this rubberized coating will resist scratching much better than unprotected glass because the surface at a microscopic level is flexible. We always recommend applying a glass stain and scratch protective treatment to newly restored glass, especially in Oklahoma City, OK.

In 2002 glass restoration was performed on a property that was stained by sprinkler systems. As part of the procedure, a glass protective treatment was applied to the glass in order to prevent the stains from redeveloping. The property owners elected not to maintain the building, and the stains redeveloped. However, in 2006 when a new owner of the building called us to propose a solution to the problem at the building, we were able to easily remove the stains from the areas that were previously restored and treated. The picture to the right shows where the stains could be easily removed with a towel. Our glass protection process protects the glass from intense damage and yields easy cleaning for the future.
