Approx. Time/Sq. Ft.: 12 – 15 minutes
Chips in glass create significant structural weak points and are often deemed non-restorable due to the risks they pose to the glass’s integrity. However, in certain cases—such as large, shallow chips near the edges—removal or blending can be cautiously considered within reasonable limits.
Restoring chipped glass typically introduces some optical distortion and is exceedingly time-consuming. Instead of complete removal, technicians may focus on minimizing the visibility of the damage and carefully removing stress points along the chip to prevent further structural degradation.
Given the complexities and risks involved, chip restoration should only be undertaken by experienced technicians. This delicate repair process is considered a last resort, reserved for situations where no other viable options are available.
Glass Chipping can be removed using GlassRenu’s Grey RenuDisk, Red RenuDisk, Polishing Compound, and Polishing Felts.
