Bi-fold Door Glass Scratch Removal
Professional assessment and polishing for suitable scratches on bi-fold door glass, helping restore damaged glazing before unnecessary replacement is considered.
Why bi-fold glass is worth assessing carefully
Bi-fold panels are large, prominent and often expensive to replace. If the unit is otherwise sound and the issue is surface scratching, restoration can be worth assessing before the complete panel is changed.
Typical damage can come from building work, decorating, cleaning tools, grit or accidental contact. The scratch still needs to be judged on depth, position and spread rather than assuming every mark is polishable.
What can affect the finished result?
- Scratch depth and total damaged area.
- Distance from edges, seals and frames.
- Toughened, coated, tinted or specialist glass.
- Safe working access to the scratched face.
- How the pane is viewed in strong reflected light.
A controlled approach
The repair process uses progressive cutting, blending and polishing stages. Heat and working area need to be controlled carefully so the cure is not worse than the original scratch. The objective is the best sensible visual result, not an unrealistic promise that every pane will look untouched.
Photos for an initial bi-fold assessment
Send close-ups from more than one angle, a photo showing the full door panel, approximate dimensions and your postcode. If the scratching covers several panels, photograph each one separately as well.
