Restoration Services
Upgrade Performance, Extend Lifespan, and Restore the Integrity of Aging Glazing Systems
As commercial buildings age, glazing systems, seals, gaskets, and aluminum framing begin to deteriorate—leading to leaks, poor insulation, fogged units, and visual degradation. ONE Glass Service provides full exterior restoration services to renew your curtain wall, storefront, and window systems with modern materials, improved energy efficiency, and enhanced performance.
When Restoration Is Needed
Over time, commercial glazing systems can show signs of failure or wear that impact safety, aesthetics, and building performance. Indicators include:
- Frequent water infiltration or draft complaints
- Aged, brittle, or visibly deteriorated gaskets
- Corroded or faded aluminum framing
- Persistent condensation or thermal inefficiency
- Delaminated, fogged, or outdated insulated glass
- Reduced tenant comfort or increased energy usage
Restoration can be a cost-effective alternative to full system replacement—especially when frames remain structurally sound.
Our Restoration Process
- 1. Comprehensive System Evaluation
We assess the condition of your curtain wall, storefront, or window system, identifying failures in seals, drainage, hardware, and glazing components. - 2. Restoration Plan & Material Selection
We select updated materials—such as new gaskets, sealants, or energy-efficient glass—to improve performance while preserving architectural intent. - 3. Component Replacement & System Upgrades
Our technicians replace deteriorated gaskets, re-seal joints, refinish framing, and upgrade outdated insulated glass units to improve efficiency. - 4. Performance and Energy Improvements
Where applicable, we recommend higher-performance IGUs to improve comfort, reduce heat transfer, and lower operational costs. - 5. Final Inspection and Quality Verification
We verify seal integrity, drainage pathways, and overall system performance to ensure long-term reliability.
