Rust staining below a steel fastener

Metal staining

Discoloration associated with metal or metal compounds deposited on or reacting at a glass surface.

Real cementitious splatter on architectural glass

Cementitious splatter

Droplets or fragments of cement-, mortar-, grout-, stucco-, or concrete-based material deposited directly on glass.

Window-sealant context

Sealant runoff

Material released from or carried across sealants, gaskets, waterproofing products, or joint compounds and deposited on glass by water or gravity.

Metallic construction debris

Construction dust

Airborne or settled particulate generated by cutting, grinding, drilling, demolition, masonry, drywall, concrete, or other construction activity.

Close detail of runoff descending from the frame

Concrete or masonry runoff

Water that has contacted concrete, mortar, stucco, stone, grout, or masonry-cleaning materials before flowing onto glass.

Silicone/sealant residue on glass

Silicone contamination

Silicone-bearing material transferred to a glass or coating surface from sealants, lubricants, gaskets, handling, or adjacent work.

Fine paint overspray on glass

Paint overspray

Fine droplets or particles of paint deposited unintentionally on glass during spraying or nearby coating work.
