Glass for Restoration

SCHOTT carefully follows the Fourcault technique to create historical glazing for buildings from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. A variety of options, such as thermal, UV and security features combine 21st century standards with period charm.

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 glass for restoration variants 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.

RESTOVER plus

Product variants

Glass for restoration 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.
