Thread: Removing square safety symbols on glass doors

I think you will find it is part of the Oz Standards to have the paint on the sliding doors.

That's alright, I set the standards here. thanks oz

You might be able to polish it off exactly the same way car windscreens can be polished to remove marks etc.

Those squares do look ugly, don't they?

I have a set of doors, pre the PC era, without markings. After a couple of bottles of red plus - well never mind - I walked fair into one.

I'm not that precious, so happy to take the risk, and the broken nose and avoid those awful patterns.

Some of them are stick on type transfers, some are painted, some are etched. You have to ask yourself if it's worth the trouble to remove them and possibly leave a worse mess in their place?

Also, don't you ever have visitors?

How artistic are you?

Assuming they're etched, you could try buffing 'em out with jewellers' rouge, but I'm unsure whether that's a good idea with safety glass. IMHO it'd be a better idea to cut a stencil and do some creative etching over the top.

I'd also keep the stencil tucked away in a very safe place afterwardrs... even safety glass can break and I wouldn't want to try and recut a matching stencil from the bits'n'pieces...

Not really, it's too dangerous around here since I removed all the safety features

If removing a safety feature I would check where you stand with your public liability insurance.
