Glass, metal and precast restoration on a Newport, Kentucky office tower
Severely stained windows, frames and precast, restored against a lease deadline and handed over a month early.
One Riverfront Place sits within walking distance of Newport, Kentucky, looking across the Ohio River to Cincinnati. Representatives from the property found Presto through their own research into glass, metal and stone restoration, and were drawn by the pricing and the protective treatment warranties.
Severe staining across three materials
The windows and frames were severely stained, and the precast carried its own marks. Three different materials on one elevation, each needing different chemistry, and a deadline attached: the work was a condition of a new tenant signing a lease on part of the building.
What was used
The windows and frames were restored with the Glass ReSurfacer System and EnviRestore Metal Stain Remover. Once they were clear, Glass Defender and Metal Protector MD were applied to the newly restored materials. The precast was chemically cleaned with Stone Restore HD and protected with Leach Stop mineral leaching mitigation treatment.
Taken together, these protective treatments coat the entire building in high-performance silicone, which is what keeps the facade stain-resistant rather than simply clean for a season.
Finished a month ahead
The work was contracted in mid-September and had to be complete by December 31 under the lease agreement. Crews were allocated to suit, and the work was presented for approval on December 2, almost a month ahead of schedule.
