Voices for GLASSRESQ

Glass scratch restoration in the police and justice centre in Zurich. On behalf of the general contractor HRS Real Estate AG, we were commissioned to remove several glass scratches in the police and justice centre building which occurred during the construction work before handover.

As good football fans, the GLASSRESQ specialists were delighted to receive the contract for Munich’s Allianz Arena. The challenge: the glass panels on the exclusive VIP stands were showing signs of wear due to high visitor numbers, along with scratches and scraper damage from improper cleaning techniques. None of this presented a problem for our young Zurich company. The GLASSRESQ team tackled the task in the Allianz Area at a rapid pace, without missing any fine detail of technique. They were soon able to declare victory over the defects in the glass, to shouts of applause and delight from the FC Bayern and Allianz Arena bosses: “In view of the technique and speed they exhibited, GLASSRESQ has most certainly earned a place in the Champions League for glass restoration.”

Construction sites represent a particular risk to any glass panes that are already installed. Carelessness and the hurly-burly of the construction site often result in deep scratches and damage to windows and other glass surfaces. Switzerland’s biggest construction & construction services company, Implenia AG, nowadays relies on GLASSRESQ’s glass restoration services. The construction enterprise finds it makes all the difference to have a partner who can quickly and cost-effectively repair any kind of glass damage.

The Mall of Switzerland is a shopping and leisure centre in Ebikon. Its 46,000 m² of space is home to 150 shops, a number of restaurants and bars, a multiplex cinema, flats and a hotel. It’s hardly surprising that a construction scheme of this complexity ran into the occasional hitch. During construction, 100 glass panes got damaged. GLASSRESQ was called in, the glass restoration specialists got straight to work and the scratches were gone in no time at all. The restoration was to the full satisfaction of Halter AG and Allreal Holding AG, the construction and building service providers who had contracted GLASSRESQ.

This was an unusual contract for GLASSRESQ. Zurich university Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule (ETH) entrusted our young company to restore scratched window panes in the newly built Hönggerberg student residence. It would have been extremely expensive and time-consuming to replace the damaged window panes, and time was pressing: the official handover and inauguration of the new building was approaching rapidly. The event had been scheduled months in advance and the guest list featured numerous prominent cultural and political figures. Postponing it was not an option. If the event was not able to take place on schedule, the costs would soar through the roof. The only solution was to repair the windows – and to the great relief of ETH Zurich, GLASSRESQ succeeded in flawlessly restoring the glass panes in a very short time. The ETH high-ups were delighted with the results, and gave the renovation high praise: “GLASSRESQ is the first glass restoration company to deliver on what they promise.”
