Types of Glasses Frames Suitable for Polishing

There are couple of frame polishing methods depending on the material type. Now let’s see which type of frame can be polished. Not all spectacles are the same and effectiveness of this process depends heavily on the material.

Plastic and Acetate Frame Repairs

Plastic acetate frames has most suitable type of material for this process. Acetate, due to its layered colour structure is commonly used in high quality spectacles. Over time, these frames can develop surface scratches and dull areas.

Professional polishing can remove up to moderate scratches, restore shine look, and revive the original colour depth of acetate frames. In many cases, frames that appear worn may look almost like new after the process. That means this process is a cost effective alternative to replacement, especially for designer glasses.

Metal Frames

Metal frames, like stainless steel, titanium, and alloy frames, can also be polished. These frames often suffer from scratches and discolouring.

Metal frame polishing focuses on correcting surface scars. It also aims to restore a smooth look. While deep cracks can’t be removed with this alone, visual improvements are still recognizable. At Opto repair, we use professional optical repair tools in order to avoid thinning or weakening metal components.

Mixed Material Frames

Many modern glasses frames are today alloy materials. Since there are more than one substance in these special alloys, special attention must be paid when polishing the frame since every substance react differently.

If the frame consists of metal and acetate at the same time, special approach and tools must be used in order to get the best result. Please keep in mind that deep cracks or broken parts will require further repair process .

Glasses Frame Polishing Methods

There are many frame polishing methods which depends of condition of the frame, frame material and glasses type. We asses each requests individually before starting the process. Here are the most common frame polishing methods:

Manual and Machine Polishing

Manual polishing is generally used for sensitive and delicate areas or frames that requires precise control. This method allow specialists to work carefully around the lenses or logo.

Machine polishing on the contrary is being chosen for restoring uniform shine or broader surfaces. Although it is automatic, there are some tricks that needs to pay attention to. For example, using the brush on one area continously would increase heating and therfore damaging the frame. Our specialists at Opto Repair have enough experience to polish any type of spectacles.

Scratch Reduction

Most users want their glasses polished mostly because of scraches on the surface. While polishing alone won’t wipe away these scracthes, it can significantly reduce its visibility.

Finish Restoration

Glasses frames can lose their original look and colour over the time. Finish restoration is for bringing back the frame original look regardless of its glossy,satin or matte. Thus improving overall aesthetics.

Combined Polishing and Adjustment

Combined polishing is repairing glasses before the polishing process. This is most widely used method since many spectacles are being polished after repairing services. For example, if you replace nose pads and want a clean look for your accessories, then it is wise to request a full polishing.
