SCRATCHED GLASS

INSTEAD OF REPLACING YOUR GLASS, WE CAN CONVENIENTLY AND COST EFFECTIVELY RESTORE YOUR GLASS ONSITE, WITHOUT TAKING THE GLASS OUT.  OBVIOUSLY, SCRATCHES CAN OCCUR ACCIDENTALLY. THE MOST COMMON GLASS REPAIRS WE SEE ARE WHEN THE GLASS IS INSTALLED, DURING CONSTRUCTION WORK. COMMON TOO IS WHEN GLASS IS CLEANED USING THE WRONG EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES, OR THROUGH VANDALISM.

GLASS BALUSTRADES

FURTHER, THE PROFESSIONAL TEAM HERE AT MELBOURNE GLASS POLISHING HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE, EXPERTISE & EQUIPMENT TO REPAIR YOUR GLASS BALUSTRADES.

WELDING & GRINDER

MOST DAMAGE CAN BE REPAIRED BUT IN MOST INSTANCES, GRINDING DAMAGE IS A
RAISED MOLTEN LUMP OF METAL MELTED INTO THE GLASS. THESE LUMPS WILL BE BLACK, OR TURNED RUSTY. WE CAN 100% REMOVE ALL RAISED AND BLACK PARTICLES FROM THE SURFACE. THERE MAY BE SOME SMALL WHITE PINHEAD MARKS REMAINING IN THE GLASS THAT IS NEXT TO UN-NOTICEABLE AND GENERALLY MEETS THE AS IN GLASS VISIBILITY DEFECT REQUIREMENTS. GIVEN THAT, WHETHER THEY CAN BE REMOVED COMPLETELY IS DEPENDENT ON HOW CLOSE AND CONCENTRATED THE IMPACT WAS. WE CAN SUGGEST THAT IN MOST INSTANCES 90% OF THE MARKS WILL BE GONE AND THE REMAINING 10% ARE THOSE WHITE PIN HEADS.

ABSEILING SCRATCHES

POOL FENCING

HAVE YOU NOTICED WATER STAINS/WATER SPOTS ON YOUR POOL GLASS, OR WANT TO MAKE SURE YOUR NEW POOL GLASS DOESN’T END UP WITH MINERAL WATER STAINS? MELBOURNE GLASS POLISHING RESTORES AND PROTECTS GLASS POOL FENCING, BALUSTRADES, SHELTER AND SIDINGS. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE CHEMICALS AND MINERALS IN POOL WATER CAN BUILD UP ON YOUR GLASS POOL FENCE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A SALTWATER POOL. IN VIEW OF THIS, TO REMOVE STUBBORN STAINS LIKE THIS, YOU WILL NEED MORE THAN A SPONGE. POOL GLASS WATER SPOTS, STAINS AND MARKS ARE USUALLY CAUSED BY CALCIUM AND MINERALS IN THE POOL, AFTER WATER EVAPORATES ON THE GLASS. WATER STAINS CAN ALSO BE CAUSED BY HOSE WATER WHEN WATERING GARDENS, BY WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS ‘ACID RAIN’, AND IN COASTAL LOCATIONS, BY SALT DEPOSITS. WATER STAINS LEFT ON YOUR FENCE FOR TOO LONG, CAN BE VERY HARD TO REMOVE – UNLESS YOU CALL MELBOURNE GLASS POLISHING.

GRAFFITI & ACID ETCHING

BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN AN IRREVERSIBLE CHEMICAL REACTION TO THE GLASS, THERE ISN’T A CLEANER THAT WILL REMOVE ACID ETCHING GRAFFITI TAGS. HOWEVER, SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT IS AVAILABLE FOR THIS JOB.

AUTO GLASS SCRATCHES

AUTO GLASS FREQUENTLY GETS SCRATCHED, DUE TO ROAD DEBRIS AND NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. WE POLISH SCRATCHED CAR GLASS WITH ZERO DISTORTION. SCRATCHES CAUSED BY GRIT CAUGHT BETWEEN THE DOORS AND THE SIDE WINDOWS, ACCIDENTAL RING SCRATCHES, AND VANDALISM ON SIDE WINDOWS CAN SERIOUSLY DETRACT FROM THE APPEARANCE AND VALUE OF THE VEHICLE, AND THESE CAN ALSO BE REMOVED WITH THE GLASS POLISH SYSTEM. GRINDING SPLATTER, WELDING SLAG AND SANDBLASTING MAY ALSO BE REMOVED THOUGH IN MANY INSTANCES THE DAMAGE MAY BE TOO DEEP AND SOME MINOR RESIDUAL DAMAGE COULD PERSIST.

NANOTECHNOLOGY GLASS

VITROLGLAZE NANO COATING, MAKES GLASS EASY TO CLEAN – NO HARSH CLEANING PRODUCTS ARE NEEDED – NO MORE LIME SCALING AND ETCHING – ECO FRIENDLY GLASS STAIN PREVENTION – MAINTAINS THAT ‘AS NEW’ APPEARANCE – RESULTING IN CLEAN, LOW MAINTENANCE GLASS ALWAYS

HARD WATER STAINS

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF CORROSION. STAGE 1 AND STAGE 2.

STAGE 1

FORTUNATELY, CORROSION AT STAGE 1 CAN BE REMOVED DIY AND YES THERE IS MANY EFFECTIVE WAYS AT GETTING IT OFF. HARD WATER CORROSION AT STAGE 1 CREATES A CLOUDY APPEARANCE, BUT DOESN’T ACTUALLY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE GLASS. THIS MEANS IT CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE SURFACE OF THE GLASS. AS LONG AS THE PH STAYS RELATIVELY LOW, OR ACIDIC (BELOW 9 PH ) THE DEPOSITS WILL REMAIN ON THE SURFACE OF THE GLASS.

STAGE 2

STAGE 2 HARD WATER CORROSION OCCURS IF THE GLASS BECOMES TOO ALKALINE. THIS ALKALINITY ALLOWS HYDROGEN IONS IN THE WATER TO LOOSEN SILICON IONS IN THE GLASS, CREATING PITS IN THE SURFACE OF THE GLASS. SODIUM AND CALCIUM IONS IN THE WATER THEN BOND TO THE SURFACE OF THE GLASS. WHEN THE MINERALS START TO EAT AWAY AND DAMAGE THE GLASS LEAVING ETCHING, IT IS CLASSIFIED AS STAGE 2 AND THIS CAN ONLY BE REMOVED BY GRINDING THE SURFACE BACK BELOW THE ETCHING AND THEN POLISHING IT BACK TO NEW.

IF TAGGERS CONSTANTLY ATTACK YOUR PROPERTY, GET A PROTECTIVE LAYER, OR ANTI-GRAFFITI COATING, TO SOLVE THIS RECURRING PROBLEM! THIS WILL INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR PROPERTY!
