Gaslamp Graffiti Removal
Glass graffiti removal in Gaslamp, San Diego, CA by Glass Savers. Restored vandalized glass to original clarity. Save thousands vs full replacement.
Here is another window that was saved after being vandalized. Graffiti was scratched into this window in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. The glass was large and of a unique shape. Replacement would not have been cheap — in fact we could resurface it again 4-5 times for less than it would cost to replace once.
People often ask if removing scratches from the glass weakens it. Good question, but no, removing scratches doesn’t weaken the glass. Actually, having scratches in your glass weakens it. If something hits your glass with force, most likely the area where the scratches are is where it will break. This is how glass is cut to size — they score it and then tap it and the glass breaks along the scored edge. With this in mind, it’s easy to understand why removing scratches from your glass actually strengthens it rather than weakens it.
Make sure whoever you are considering to resurface your glass has plenty of Before/After photos and videos, references from happy customers and carry proper liability insurance. They should also be willing to do a demonstration on a portion of your glass before you commit to a large project.
