Glass Restoration in San Diego, CA – Welding Slag Repair

Glass Savers was called to a new construction project in San Diego to repair deep welding slag damage on multiple windows. Welding slag—also known as welding splatter—occurs when molten metal falls during the welding process and lands on glass. The result is a combination of deep surface damage and embedded metal particles, making it one of the most challenging types of glass damage to repair.

The Damage

On this job, about eight windows had sustained this type of damage. Every damaged panel was located directly beneath exposed pipes that had been welded recently. None of the other glass without pipes above had any damage—so the cause was obvious.

The damage was discovered just prior to project completion, creating a major problem:

• Replacement was expensive and would delay the project.

• Time constraints meant new glass could not be ordered, delivered, and installed in time.

Why Glass Savers Was Chosen

We were able to restore the glass to like-new condition for a fraction of the replacement cost—and in significantly less time—allowing the builder to finish the project on schedule.

Our process:

• Completely removes the slag and scratches.

• Feathers the repair area beyond the initial damage to avoid optical distortion.

• Produces significantly less mess compared to other restoration methods.
