Scratched glass = Lost Profits

Bear Glass specializes in reducing losses from scratched glass.  Whether the scratches in glass occur from vandalism to cleaning errors, repairing scratched glass is generally the most viable solution to minimizing the cost of repair.  Scratch removal generally does not exceed 50% of replacement of the glass, and in some cases, the repairs do not reach 5% of replacement cost.

Scratched glass has been a serious problem for builders, remodelers, glass companies, car restorers, and furniture dealers since glass was invented.  It has resulted in lost profits for thousands upon thousands of people.  Glass can be restored.  Scratches can be removed, mineral deposit can be removed, glass can be saved.  Money will be saved when the glass is restored rather than replaced.  Glass with scratches does not need to be the problem that it has been in the past.

Glass is getting more costly every year and restoration makes more sense plus it saves more money than ever.  Call today and tell us about your scratched glass.  We will tell you how we can help and when.  Reducing losses is one of the best ways to keep your profits.  Scratched glass repair is the way to save money when scratches in glass occur.

Bear Glass offers two varieties of glass restoration:

Full and Light Restoration: Bear Glass is available in two varieties, Full and Light, displaying two levels of movement to match precisely the desired time period or glass appearance.  Both glass types exhibit mild surface distortions, an occasional air bubble or pit, and other “imperfections” found only in original mouth-blown and antique window glasses.

• Full Restoration is more distorting and accurately replicates glass made in the 17th and 18th centuries. Its distinct appearance makes it an excellent choice for older style windows, as well as antique and reproduction furniture.
• Light Restoration is less distorting and an excellent match for glass found in structures built in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The slight distortion can be hard to distinguish in a small sample viewed up-close; however, it becomes more pronounced when viewed from a distance, in reflected light, and over a larger area, making Light Restoration ideal for use in windows and doors.

Laminated Safety Restoration: Bear Glass also offers Glass Restoration in safety form, laminated to 1/8″ window glass in compliance with today’s exacting building safety codes. Laminated Restoration Glass meets the requirements for ANSI Z97.1, the Consumer Product Safety Commission Standard 16 CFR 1201, and ASTM C1172. It is ideal for use in doors, sidelites, windows, and wherever safety is required.

Who does not want to take a look of him or herself at a mirror? And it always brings back the nostalgia if the mirror is an old one. For an old mirror it is natural that it would be a little discolored or fade, as that adds a different charm to its character. But neither for the old nor for a new mirror we expect a fade reflection or spots on the mirror glass.

A mirror, especially a good quality mirror is made of a high-grade glass with silver backing. When this silver-backing is damaged, we find discolorations, marks or scratches on the mirror glass which could not only ruin the look of that furniture but also the view of the whole room. And therefore the damage pieces need re-silvering to bring them back to their old states.

Bear Glass can provide the best mirror re-silvering service for you. For more than forty years Bear Glass has proven its expertise in all kind of glass works nationwide.

Silvering is mainly the chemical process of coating a glass with a reflective substance. Earlier silver was coated on the glass surface. But later sputtering powdered aluminum or other compounds are used in the place of silver. Therefore today, this process is also known as aluminizing.

Bear Glass uses modern technology of aluminum silvering for mirror re-silvering. In this process, a sheet of glass is placed in a vacuum chamber along with electrically heated nichrome coils to sublime the aluminum. The hot aluminum atoms travel at a straight line in vacuum, when they hit the surface of the mirror or glass, they cool and stick to it. Afterwards it needs either an evaporation of quartz onto the glass, or to get exposed in the open air or pure oxygen to form the layer of aluminum oxide.

Bear Glass does both front-silvered and back-silvered mirror re-silvering in this process. Most of the household mirrors are back silvered, which gives the glass a primary protection from corrosion or other damages.

Bear Glass does mirror re-silvering for all kinds of mirror-glass. If you find your household or showroom mirror was affected or damaged, bring it to Bear Glass. We guaranty you a satisfaction that you have never had before. We ship our glass-products nationwide.
