GLASS PROTECT COATING
The Glass Protect coating is a treatment of the glass which facilitates the maintenance of the glazed
walls by limiting the deposits of limestone, fat and dirt. The treatment makes the glass surface
hydrophobic and Oleophobe. So, aqueous liquids and oily or fat substances are repelled and slide
on its Surface without marks. Thus, the glass has properties of water deperlence, as well as of Fat
substances, and by then presents anti limestones characteristics.
The Glass Protect coating is so thin it is naked eye invisible, it does not impact the transparency of
the glass: the only visible effect revealing its presence is the formation of big water drops which
slide on the surface of the wall and not the uniform distribution of thousand water droplets which
hang on and spread out on the wall.
Unlike untreated glasses, Glass Protect coated glasses are much easier to clean. It does not mean
that Glass Protect coated glasses must not be cleaned. Some visible residues can remain on the glass
after the use of the shower, particularly the soap. These residues will be more or less important,
and particles will get loose more easily.
In that case, to insure the longevity of the shower wall Glass Protect treatment, it is absolutely
necessary to respect the maintenance advices and to avoid using:- Powders and abrasive
creams- Alkaline cleaners- Biting cleaners- Acid products- Disinfecting cleaners- Steam cleaners
These aggressive products are not useful as the maintenance is very easily made with soft products
like neutral cleaners which wash but do not affect the protective coating of the walls.
MAINTENANCE
- Depending of the model, your shower box is equipped with a hand-held shower head and a main
shower head with anti-limestone wedges which slow down the limestone deposit in order you to
take advantage as long as possible of pleasant and regular jets between two manual cleanings
(the frequency of which depends on the number of daily uses and on the hardness of local water).
These cleanings are simply made by passing a wet sponge with white vinegar and rubbing on the
dirtiest parts. The plastic wedges make the cleaning very easy.
Rinse the equipment before next use.
The trick for slowing down the limestone deposit ? Rinse the glass walls by letting cold water
flow during 10/15 seconds after the shower. It will protect as well shower heads as glass walls of
a quick limestone deposit.
- for a good evacuation, clean periodically the drain trap by removing the hood and the jar.
-It is possible that the anti-limestone treatment leaves marks on
the glazings, we recommend you to clean these after the walls
installation with the help of a soft and dry cloth.
- do not use abrasive or solvent products.
