Glass and Mirror Craft offers various coatings for glass durability

Glass Coatings

While invisible to the naked eye, glass surfaces contain microscopic peaks and valleys. As a result, this means that your glass retains and traps minerals from water, soap scum, and bacteria, age, exposure to heat, light.
Furthermore, common household cleaners accelerate the corrosion process – meaning the more uncoated glass is cleaned, the harder it will be to keep clean. Thus, Glass and Mirror Craft offers you various glass coatings for durability. First, Diamon-Fusion, next, ShowerGuard and finally ClearShield. These special coatings seal glass from corrosion, buildup of minerals, and dirt. Above all, they help protect your glass investment and keep that new look over time.

Diamon-Fusion

Diamon-Fusion is an ultra-thin transparent glass coating that can be applied to a wide range of glass and glass-like surfaces. As a result, it’s peftect in the residential, commercial and automotive markets. Similarly to a non-stick cooking pan, cleaning is done less frequently and made easier using only water and a microfiber towel. Therefore, Its breakthrough in nanotechnology is at the forefront of the industry.

Superior surface protection
Hydrophobic and oleophobic
Easier and less frequent cleaning
No special cleaning products required

Environmentally Friendly
Improved brilliance and UV stable
Wide range of applications
15 Year commercial warranty

Glass is naturally porous

Untreated glass is naturally porous which allows hard water and contaminants to penetrate the surface causing stains and corrosion. In short, time these contaminants can destroy the beauty of the glass.

Stage One: fills in the gaps

Diamon-Fusion fills in the peaks and valleys of your glass by creating a chemical reaction that causes a “cross-linked” and “branched” silicone film to be grown out from below the surface.

Stage two: caps the process

The second stage ‘caps’ the entire chain of atoms. This unique ‘capping’ substantially increases the hydrophobicity and durability of the glass. It leaves no points of attachment – completing the Diamon-Fusion process.

ShowerGuard®

ShowerGuard is your first permanent shower glass protection option that seals the surface preventing chemical corrosion and reducing spots, residue, stains, and scale build-up. Unlike spray-on surface coatings that eventually wear off. ShowerGuard’s patented ion-beam process, permanently fuses a perfectly smooth, microscopic layer of silicon dioxide to the surface of the glass. This process seals the surface preventing chemical corrosion, reducing spots, residues, stains, and scale build-up, resulting in glass that is less expensive for you to maintain and easier to clean. Furthermore, it’s manufactured backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

ShowerGuard is available in three types:

Clear

ShowerGuard fused to regular clear glass

UltraClear

ShowerGuard fused to low-iron glass, eliminating the green tint present in standard clear glass

SatinDeco

ShowerGuard fused to both the etched outside and smooth inside surfaces, affords full light with some privacy (non stock product – special orders only )

ClearShield®

ClearShield is a permanently bonded polymer resin coating that prevents water mineral buildup and corrosion from the elements. In short, this barrier protects against water spots, fingerprints, stains and bacteria resulting in glass that is less expensive to maintain and easier to clean.

ClearShield treatment:

keeps glass looking like new
reduces water spots and fingerprints
ease of cleaning = less to maintain
helps glass stay cleaner, longer
significantly reduces the growth of bacteria

In conclusion, ClearShield is suitable for nearly any type of glass surface. From shower enclosures, residential and commercial windows, decorative glass to marine applications.

While applied primarily for showers, ShowerGuard can be used for any application that requires frequent cleaning or exposure to water.
