Preserve your budget
Avoid paying twice for fabrication, shipping, removal and installation when existing glass can be recovered.

Before approving replacement
You already paid for the glass once. Before paying again, find out whether it can still be restored.
Every day you postpone the decision, the damage remains an unresolved expense. If the glass is intact, we can assess whether restoring it makes financial and technical sense, right where it is installed, without removing it, with potential savings of up to 70% compared with replacement.
Not every pane can be restored. Replacing it before assessing it can be the costly mistake.
Protect your existing investment
Every pane replaced unnecessarily is an investment you pay for twice.
Your cost doesn't start when you order new glass. It starts when you pay again for processes your project has already completed.
Protect your delivery schedule
Reduce the risk of discovering too late that replacement was avoidable, when the handover deadline is already approaching.
Avoid duplicated logistics
Keep the glass installed and avoid additional handling when restoration is technically possible.
Keep your options open
Before authorizing replacement, you can still compare restoration and replacement using actual project data.
Make the right decision before committing budget
First confirm whether the damage truly warrants replacement.
We do not assume every pane can be restored. Nor do we assume every damaged pane must be replaced. We assess depth, distribution of damage, access, proximity to edges, overall condition and glass type.
If restoration is not advisable, you need to know before paying for it. If it is viable, you need to know before ordering a replacement pane.
Check the feasibility of my project
Recover value that is still there
Every pane you retain is one you do not have to purchase again.
Depending on the condition of the glass, we evaluate damage that often triggers expensive replacement decisions.

Review specialized services →Do not turn recoverable damage into unnecessary replacement
Before, during and after: retain the existing glass when restoration is technically feasible.
Restoration is not about concealing damage. It is about determining whether the surface can be recovered without replacing the entire pane.
Reduce uncertainty with evidence
Do not decide based solely on our claims. Review challenges we have already addressed.

Make your decision with complete information
First, we determine whether restoration makes sense. Then we define the scope.
The right decision may be to restore many panes, only some, or none. Any of those conclusions is better than replacing by default.
- 1
Understand the problem
Damage, affected area, location, access, urgency and project circumstances.
- 2
Assess technical feasibility
Confirm that the glass is intact and evaluate restoration limitations.
- 3
Define the scope
Identify which panes can be retained, which need a different solution and how the work should be carried out.
- 4
Restore on site
Where feasible, we work with the glass installed and avoid unnecessary removal.
Get useful answers before ordering new glass
Share the details that affect the decision, and we will determine whether it makes sense to proceed.
You do not need a complete tender package to request an initial technical review. Our internal assessment helps us prioritize business projects by scale, urgency, access and replacement cost.
- Builders and developers
- Hotels and resorts
- Corporate facilities and property managers
- Facility / property management
- Shopping centers, retail stores and chains
- Façade and glass contractors
We begin by understanding the problem. Then we tell you whether a technical review would be worthwhile.
Preliminary assessment
How expensive would replacing this glass be?
Information received
Your project has been recorded.
We will review the information and follow up according to technical feasibility and project priority.
Assessment reference: —
Avoid paying for an unsuitable intervention
We do not restore glass at any cost. Technical feasibility comes first.
We do not work on broken, cracked or fractured glass. There are technical limitations related to glass edges, damage depth, access and the individual pane's condition.
The process also entails limited inherent risks, including breakage or distortion. We prefer stating limitations upfront over promising results we cannot substantiate.
Do not authorize replacement with unanswered questions
What you need to know before deciding.
Does GNOVIA guarantee every pane can be restored?
No. Every pane must meet technical conditions. The assessment identifies which panes are candidates for restoration and which are not.
Must the glass be removed?
For technically viable projects, the service is performed directly on the installed glass.
Does restoration change the glass properties?
Our process seeks to restore the glass surface without altering its physical, chemical or optical properties.
Can you work outside Mexico City?
Yes. GNOVIA serves business projects nationwide, subject to location, volume and working conditions.
What information is needed for evaluation?
Damage type, estimated number of panes or affected area, city, access, height and photographs.
