GGF launches new glass damage datasheet
28th July 2015

The Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) has released a new technical Data Sheet, “Glass Repair Removal of Surface Damage from Glass,” covering the optical and quality factors that influences the appearance of glass following surface repair, with the major emphasis on the visual performance when glass is viewed from inside a building.

Bob Griffin of Re-newglass and Chairman of the GGF Glass Repair Group said: “For some time there has been concern in the industry over glass polishing and in particular on toughened glass. This document answers those concerns. It will prove not only a highly useful data sheet but also a very important one for the sector.”

The Data Sheet addresses causes and types of glass surface and edge damage as well as optical and visual quality across many types of glass including annealed, toughened, laminated and coated glass. The publication then explains the repair process and method of assessment.

Bob added, “I am very pleased this publication has been released. It will provide vital information for customers and glass producers who are looking for guidance on treatment options for surface damage. It is the authoritative technical publication that should become a required industry reference for all looking to repair glass.”

Brian Baker of Glassolutions, GGF President and a Member of the Glass Repair Group, who helped produce this latest document, added: “It is yet another excellent addition to the GGF library of technical information and I have no doubt will be essential in guiding the industry when it comes to repairing glass surfaces.”

The Glass Repair Removal of Surface Damage (Ref 5.15.1) from Glass Data Sheet is available for free download for all GGF Members from the Members’ Area of the GGF website.
