Weld spatter can do serious damage to glass. Luckily Glass Polish Ireland can help...

A Welder Almost Killed The Park

July 28th, 2009


Ok. So it’s a bit of a weird title. But when you see some of these images of the damage weld splatter did at this prestigious new retail park in South County Dublin you’ll understand. First maybe a small introduction.

The Park Carrickmines

The Park Carrickmines is one of Ireland’s latest and largest out-of-town “Urban Quarters”. In case your wondering what that means, The Park is a mixed-use development consisting of retail and office space. And we can proudly say that we helped out when disaster happened.

The Story Of The Welder And The Windows

So somehow a welder managed to do some serious damage to some of the brand new windows in the development. Here’s how bad things were – you could barely see through the glass:

And just so you can see how much damage weld spatter really does here’s a closer-up image of the glass:

You can see how the splatter has burned right into the glass.

Ouch, and the cost of replacing top-of-the-range glass like this only rubbed salt into the wound. (If you’re glass has been affected by weld splatter check out our weld splatter page.) Thankfully our guys were there to help out. Not only did we fix up the weld splatter, but we also worked across the site saving the developers money, time and aggravation. Here’s some shots of the guys at work in:
