It is an unfortunate reality in today’s world that glass is a common target for graffiti vandals. They may spray paint on it, scratch it with stones or other hard objects, or etch it with acid. Additionally, the glass used in construction can often be subject to accidental damage, such as grazing and scratching, or overspraying. Since glass is widely used in buildings, storefronts, and car windows, the cost of replacement after such damage can become prohibitive.
As it seems impossible to prevent this damage from occurring in the first place, what is needed to reduce the cost is graffiti protection or glass scratch protection in the case of construction damage. This protection comes in the form of a durable, transparent film that covers the glass.
The film is virtually invisible when applied to the glass and can last up to 10 years. Due to its durability, it is much less likely to be damaged by graffiti or accidental scratching. If it does get damaged, it costs significantly less to replace than the actual glass. It is the ideal solution for glass in public spaces that are prone to graffiti damage.
In the case of glass that has been damaged by accidental scratching or graffiti, it is often possible to remove the scratches instead of replacing the glass. Glass scratch repair is carried out by professionals who can remove all types of scratches and make the glass look like new again. This is a more cost-effective option than removing and replacing an entire pane of glass, especially when only a small area is damaged.
All types of glass can be repaired, including toughened glass, frosted glass, and mirrored glass. Even very deep scratches can be removed, and the surface can be polished to resemble a new state again. Unfortunately, some glass distortion may occur when the scratches are exceptionally deep, but repair is still a better option than replacement.
