Project Details

This impressive residential project involved restoring a large outdoor walk-on glass floor feature that serves as both a skylight and architectural statement piece. The glass panels allow natural light to flood the space below while creating a dramatic visual element in the garden. However, years of outdoor exposure and foot traffic had severely degraded the glass. The damage included: • Heavily scratched surface from constant foot traffic • Severe clouding and haziness obscuring the view below • Weather-related etching and deterioration from rain and outdoor elements • Loss of transparency making the architectural feature ineffective • Safety concerns due to reduced visibility This walk-on glass feature is a stunning architectural element that connects the outdoor garden space with the room below. The client wanted to restore it rather than undertake the massive expense of replacement, which would have required significant structural work. Our restoration process: • Comprehensive safety assessment and structural inspection • Progressive sanding with multiple grades to remove deep weathering damage • Precision glass polishing using professional-grade compounds • Final buffing to achieve complete optical clarity • Anti-slip treatment application for safety • Thorough cleaning and quality inspection The transformation is remarkable. The walk-on glass now has perfect crystal-clear transparency, fully restoring the architectural intent of the feature. Natural light once again floods the space below, and the stunning views through the glass floor create a breathtaking connection between levels. The client was absolutely delighted to have this unique architectural feature brought back to life, avoiding the enormous cost and disruption of replacement. This project showcases our expertise in restoring large-scale structural glass installations that face the challenges of outdoor environments and heavy use.
