RESTOVER® plus
RESTOVER® plus offers a different, more textured glass that closely resembles traditional blown glass originally manufactured at the turn of the 19th Century. Thicker than RESTOVER® and RESTOVER® light, it’s simple to install into historical window frames and fittings.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- More striking, irregular glass style.
- Thicker than RESTOVER® and RESTOVER® light.
- Appearance replicates the traditional blown glass style.
SCHOTT GOETHEGLAS reproduces the irregular surface structure of windows found in buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries. We use the historical Fourcault process to produce colorless, machine-drawn glass that remains faithful to the original esthetics and stunning period characteristics.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- Variety of processing options available to produce laminated glass, tempered glass or insulated glass units.
- Innovative functions suit contemporary needs for thermal, solar, UV and noise control.
RESTOVER® light
Although the irregular surface of RESTOVER® glass is deliberately intended to reproduce the wavy effect of early 19th century glass styles, SCHOTT RESTOVER® light offers the option of a more understated style.
CHARACTERISTICS
RESTOVER® light is more modern in appearance while still blending in well with early 1900s architecture.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- Less irregular glass.
- Low thickness equal to regular RESTOVER® glass, allowing easy installation in historical frames.
