Scratched Glass Repair Services for Period Listed Buildings
Glass is not new. In fact, evidence of glass in history dates back to 3500BC where glass was used in weapons and for decoration. Today, we are used to seeing a variety of different glass in every building to bring in light while awarding us the best views possible. However, the glass industry was not always so common. The first flat glass pane for windows was not even invented until the 17th century and since then, glass has evolved to become what it is today.
Unscratch the Surface specializes in repairing scratched glass of all types and period or historic buildings can be particularly vulnerable to scratches. Scratch resistant glass was not always available and certain period buildings and historic sites can have scratched glass without an effective way of repairing the damage. Unscratch the Surface uses a technology that is safe for sensitive or fragile glass in historic buildings. Handmade glass panes from the past are not always smooth as many of these panes were milled by hand, so our antique historic scratched glass restoration services are ideal.
How Antique and Period Glass Get Scratches
History is important and structures built throughout time hold a special place in our hearts. Hundred-year-old homes, industrial spaces, and historic monuments offer us a glimpse into the past and often, these structures are turned into museums and tourist attractions. As with all buildings open to the public, sometimes accidents happen and seemingly small scratches can be significantly damaging to delicate period or antique glass. Moving furniture or items throughout a facility can cause scratches and even debris from a storm might cause scratched glass to appear. When this happens, Unscratch the Surface is your perfect antique glass restoration resource.
When antique or historic glass is scratched, replacing it may not be an option. Many historic glass panes were manufactured through handmade methods that no longer exist. Artisans that originally made the pane may no longer be alive, so finding a replacement is not an option. However, changing a historic pane to a modern version, can obstruct the historical feel of the building. Unscratch the Surface gently buffs glass surfaces without damaging the original look. Results from our historic glass restoration projects have restored the original shine of glass without obstructing its historic integrity.
