Approx. Time/Sq. Ft.: 12 – 15 minutes
Metal Grinding Debris Damage occurs during construction activities like cutting rebar or metal framing studs near glass surfaces. Hot, nearly molten metal shards are ejected and can embed themselves into the glass, causing deep and severe damage by encapsulating small metal particles within the surface.
Before restoration, it’s crucial to remove as much embedded metal as possible to prevent further damage. Additionally, assessing the relationship between the depth of the impact marks (or “poc” marks) and the glass’s overall thickness, especially its tempering envelope, is essential. A key threshold is whether the burrows exceed 10% of the glass thickness. If within this limit, the tempering envelope typically remains intact. However, deeper damage requires a thorough evaluation of the glass’s safety and structural integrity. Understanding this relationship helps technicians determine the appropriate restoration approach while maintaining the glass’s structural safety.
Metallic Grinding Debris is easily removed using GlassRenu’s Grey RenuDisk, Red RenuDisk, Polishing Compound, and Polishing Felts.
