The Vision Glass Detailer

I am currently writing a free newsletter which focuses on the technology of window glass preservation, maintenance, and restoration. Many billions of dollars in window glass has been wasted by what has been called glass on glass deposits. The silicates in the concrete exterior fascade of high rise structures has been broken down by acid rain over the years. Rain is absorbed into the micropores of the concrete, breaks down the builder matrix, and leaches out the silicates. Which are then deposited via rain drops that dry in the hot sun when the rain stops.
