Rock and Masonry Damage on glass surfaces typically occurs during construction, especially when materials like mortar or binding agents used for securing exterior façade components accidentally contact the glass. Scrubbing or scraping these substances off can create a range of scratches, from barely noticeable fine marks to deep gouges that significantly mar the glass. Additionally, chemical components such as lye and lime in these materials can cause minor acid burns or stains with prolonged contact, adding complexity to the damage.
For technicians addressing rock and masonry damage, it’s essential to thoroughly assess both the severity of the scratches and the presence of any chemical etching or staining. This comprehensive evaluation ensures that the restoration plan is meticulously tailored to effectively address the most severe aspects of the damage, restoring the glass to its optimal condition.
Rock and Masonry Damage is easily removed using GlassRenu’s Grey RenuDisk, Black RenuDisk, Polishing Compound, and Polishing Felts.
