Glass is not as smooth as it seems
The seemingly smooth surface of glass contains microscopic ridges and
valleys that create a favourable environment for the buildup of contaminants
like soap scum, hard water deposits and grime.
In time, the glass surface will visibly dull and become difficult to
clean. This will result in high maintenance and premature replacement
costs due to deterioration.
The VITROglaze advantage
Vitroglaze is a permanent coating that will prevent the adhesion
and buildup of contaminants onto the glass surface. It also provides water
and oil repellent properties.
Working similar to non-stick cookware your glass becomes easier to clean
without the need for harsh chemicals.
VITROglaze® has been designed to protect any silica based surface
such as glass, granite, porcelain, and ceramic tiles, and significantly
reduces the time and effort required to maintain these surfaces by up
to 90%.
Windows
Protect your windows from a build up of grime, salt spray & residue.
Even after ordinary cleaning most windows retain a level of residue. Vitroglaze
acts by repelling substances that can adhere to the glass over time. You
not only have to clean your windows them less often, surface grimes just
comes away, leaving your windows looking ‘brand new’.
Conservatories
Keeping conservatory windows clean, can be the bain of any householder.
Because a conservatory is mostly glass, and subject to the elements of
the weather, any marks or build up of grime is immediately highlighted
as soon as the sun comes out. Ensure your conservatory glass is clear
with Vitroglaze.
Balustrades
Balustrades are a popular choice for unobtrusive fencing. Like all glass
though, any dirt and build up of oils on the surface will be obvious.
Vitroglaze protection eliminates the need for intensive cleaning, repelling
even water.
Boats
Boat cleaning is a labourious task in anyone’s book. By adding that extra
level of protection on surfaces exposed to salt water, and elements, there
is less likelihood of damage. Cleaning becomes a breeze.
Kitchens/Bathrooms
Kitchen and bathroom surfaces these days contain a lot of polished surfaces
such as tiles, granite, and glass splash backs. Vitroglaze will keep your
surfaces looking shiny. It repels all manner of oils, grease, soaps, food
spills, and water residue. Cleaning becomes trouble-free, without the
need for intensive chemicals to remove grime.
Skylights
Glass skylights are often difficult to reach and clean once installed.
Because they are so heavily exposed to the elements of the weather, cleaning
becomes a constant chore. Vitroglaze will ensure that your glass stays
clear, so they don’t need cleaning as often.
Shower Doors
Most people find shower doors in their home are the biggest problem to
keep looking clean. The build up of soaps, chemicals and water residue
often leaves them with a cloudy appearance. Vitroglaze can restore the
original clarity on your shower doors, giving them the appearance of looking
brand new. What’s more it keeps them looking that way.
Splash-backs
Splashbacks end up with all manner of water, soap, and oil residue. When
cleaned, they often retain a ’smeared’ appearance. Keep your splash backs
looking pristine, with Vitroglaze protection.
Tiles
Over time, tiles develop a thick film of residue from day to day activity,
where splashes, and soap adhere to the surface. This makes cleaning difficult.
Often the grouting shows the first and worst signs of build-up. By applying
Vitroglaze your tiles keep their fresh, clean, appearance.
Ease of Cleaning
Vitroglaze® is a permanent non-stick coating that will help reduce
your cleaning by up to 90 percent. Maintenance of your glass will require
much less energy, time and money. What’s unique about treated surfaces
is that all those spots will not stick if they are removed every couple
of days with a wipe down with a damp cloth. It’s a similar situation with
Teflon protection ~ you wouldn’t put your Teflon® coated fry pan away
without wiping it down first.
To ensure the life of the Vitroglaze®, we recommend that you use
a clean damp cloth every couple of days and give the surface a wipe over
and then dry with a soft cloth. If you do notice a slight build up of
grime, simply apply some VITROclean to the surface and wipe over. Rinse
with cold water and dry.
It’s that simple.
Cleaning Your Shower
The warmer the water, the greater the surface tension and spotting, therefore shower doors require a little more maintenance than other applications like windows or glass balustrades.
We recommend two methods that will keep your glass looking like new.
1. After taking a shower, dry the glass using either a plastic (not
rubber) blade or a dry cloth. This will help to keep your shower looking
pristine and will mean you do not have to clean the glass so often.
Or
2. Don’t dry the shower glass after each use but clean it more often. However, by not drying the glass each time spotting may occur.
The VITROglaze™ coating makes spots easy to remove but cleaning
may be required each week, depending on water quality.
It’s so easy! If any marks are hard to remove just repeat
the process.
To clean the outside of the shower use any normal glass cleaner.
(Please note that failure to maintain your glass will result in the
warranty becoming null and void.)
