Remove spark damage on glass

Spark damage caused by angle grinders or cutting tools can severely damage glass surfaces in localized spots. These so-called grinder splashes or cutting marks often leave deep inclusions or small burn marks.

Avoid high costs, long waiting times, and unnecessary environmental impact from replacement. With GLASSRESQ, you can repair spark-damaged glass quickly, cost-effectively, and sustainably.

How glass restoration works in 4 steps:

1. Roughening, coarse grinding

In the first step, deep scratches, etching, or burn marks are broadly removed through controlled roughening.

2. Glass Refinement

The surface is evenly smoothed and prepared for fine grinding. This creates a uniform base on which subsequent grinding and polishing processes can be optimally performed.

3. Fine polishing

Remaining grinding marks are completely removed, and the surface is refined to restore its original light transmission. The result: no dull areas, no visible transitions.

4. Polishing and deep cleaning

In the final phase, the finest residues are removed, the glass is polished to a high gloss, and thoroughly cleaned. This results in a clear, distortion-free finish with maximum optical quality.

Spark Damage on Glass? Here’s the Step-by-Step Solution

In the video, you’ll see a real example from Küssnacht, where we repaired spark damage on glass in an occupied multi-family building. Daniel demonstrates step-by-step how our method was applied on-site.

The first pane shows clearly visible burn marks from cutting work. The second pane reveals the evenly ground intermediate stage. The third window displays the finished result: a fully restored glass surface without visible residues.

Our GLASSRESQ process works precisely, dust-free, and without loud noise or dirt — ideal for work in occupied buildings or sensitive environments. This way, we fix complex damage without disrupting the daily life of residents.

Typical Damage Pattern from Spark Impact on Glass:

 

When working with cut-off grinders or flex tools, hot metal particles are generated that strike nearby glass surfaces at high speed. These glowing sparks burn small, often irregularly distributed black or brown spots into the surface.

The particles penetrate the top glass layer and create microscopic craters with oxide edges that cannot be removed by simple cleaning. Often, these burn marks are arranged along lines or spray directions corresponding to the tool’s working angle.

Without professional treatment, the glass remains permanently damaged. The typical appearance is visually disturbing, especially in daylight or when looking through the glass directly, and multiple affected spots can degrade the overall look of the glazing.
