Restoration Glass - SCHOTT’s understanding of historical glass and manufacture methods allows us to offer bespoke services to restoration projects.

SCHOTT’s understanding of historical glass and manufacture methods allows us to offer bespoke services to restoration projects. Combining precise attention to detail with 21st-century safety and reliability standards, our unique glazing protects and preserves landmark buildings and cultural assets worldwide.

Traditional techniques, modern standards

SCHOTT’s restoration glass employs the authentic Fourcault production technique to produce colorless, machine-drawn glass. SCHOTT restoration glass can also be processed into glazing with more conventional modern features such as toughened safety glass, according to customer requirements.

Historical accuracy, contemporary quality

SCHOTT GOETHEGLAS, RESTOVER® and TIKANA® products accurately recreate the irregular surfaces of 18th, 19th and early 20th century glazing, while minimal thicknesses allow easy use with historic window frames. All our restoration glass can be combined with thermal, solar, UV and noise control standards.

Period detail and historic beauty

Detailed recreation of historic glass makes SCHOTT’s versatile products a popular choice for restoration projects. GOETHEGLAS follows glazing styles from the 18th and 19th centuries, RESTOVER® reproduces early 1900s methods, while TIKANA® is suited to Bauhaus-style architecture. Our products are also ideal for winter gardens, balconies and infills of balustrades.

Product variants

Restoration glass variants include RESTOVER®, GOETHEGLAS and TIKANA®, as well as RESTOVER® light, which has a less irregular surface than RESTOVER®, and RESTOVER® plus, which bears a closer resemblance to mouth-blown glass. All our restoration range can be combined with a number of processing options, such as laminated glass or insulating glass units.

We are certified - ETA-certified SCHOTT Restoration Glass can be processed as ordinary float glass following the standards of EN-12150-2, EN14179-2, EN14449 and EN 1279-5.
