Austin's Original Glass Polishing Contractor Since 1998

Yes, we can work on both. In fact, most windows we work on are low-e, and the polishing process does not disturb either the low-e film or the seal of the window. All types of glass can be repaired: tempered, plate glass, tinted, beveled glass, etc.

Removing scratches and surface damage from glass involves a multi-stage grinding and polishing process. After selecting an abrasive grinding disk that is matched to the severity of the damage, we remove glass stock until the damage is gone. This first step is critical to a successful repair and requires patience and skill. Next, finer abrasives are used in preparation for the final polishing phase, after which the glass looks as good as new.

Scratches within 1/2 – 3/4″ from the edge of the glass may not be repairable. Typically, chips, holes, and bubbles cannot be refinished. And if scratches cover the entire surface area of the glass, the repair cost can sometimes exceed replacement cost, so please inquire.

There could be a number of things. In residential and commercial construction, scratches are often caused by razors, mortar, stucco, ladders, sanders, window production, window installation… the list goes on. Mineral deposits from sprinkler systems and graffiti are problems commonly encountered in building management. All of these can be successfully repaired. Accent Glass Resurfacing is not in a position to determine specific time or cause; that is up to you to diagnose.
