The
owners of the Lloyd's Building found that paint on the frame around the
atrium was shedding and plating onto the glass and adhered to the
surface, making cleaning extremely difficult. The glass was
successfully converted to Low-M (Low-Maintenance) Glass. Today, the
paint still flakes but thanks to ClearShield is easily wiped off and
conventional cleaning methods are still sufficient to maintain the
glass.
Lloyds'
Building Facilities Manager said, “We are
very impressed with the ClearShield System, it has been extremely
beneficial to our facilities management operation and we intend to
carry on with the aftercare regime."
Santander
Corp Santa Fe, Mexico
The
Banco Santander offices in Santa Fe and Querétaro were awarded
with the Intelligent Building Prize in 1994 by the Mexican Institute of
Intelligent Building for their use of advanced technology. Keen to
uphold the image of perfection, the buildings' owners requested the
glass was renovated and protected onsite with ClearShield. A total of
over 20,000m2 of glass was treated.
Hitaveita
Sudurnesja Powerplant, Iceland
For
many years, harsh chemicals were required to clean the glass at this
geothermal powerplant. Glass easily became opaque due to the severe
silica contamination.
Despite
frequent cleaning, the glass would quickly become dirty again. When the
time came to replace the ordinary glass, pre-treated ClearShield Glass
was specified. Since then, silica build-up has been minimal, resulting
in a considerable amount of money saved through not having to replace
the glass.
