Ritec Puts the
Sparkle Back
After 14 years of
benefiting from low
maintenance glass
windows and doors
through the use of
Ritec's ClearShield, a Basingstoke householder knows just how effective it is…
And when it came time to
reapply the treatment,
the owners had no
hesitation in giving
Ritec the opportunity to
demonstrate again the
clear benefits of the
product.
New windows and doors
were fitted by Zenith in
1991, and the glass had
been treated with
ClearShield, which
provides surface
protection from the
damage caused by
weathering and
contamination. Recently,
John Evemy, who lives at
the four-bedroom house
with his wife, noticed
that the windows were
not as sparkling or easy
to clean and realised
that it was time to
reapply ClearShield.
The house has around 15
windows and doors to
treat, including French
doors at the back, and
front and back doors
with glass panels.
While new glass is
bright and sparkling,
easy to see through and
to keep clean, the
environmental
conditions, as well as
its physical and
chemical properties,
mean unprotected glass
easily becomes stained
and discoloured,
difficult to see through
and hard to clean. For
building owners, the
routine cleaning of
unprotected,
high-maintenance glass
is a considerable cost
in time and money –
whether for a tower
block or a four-bedroom
house. For the
building's users,
dissatisfaction arises
because of a spoiled
façade and visibility is
compromised. That is
where ClearShield
provides the ideal
solution.
The latest formulation
of ClearShield Glass
Protect is now available
to convert high
maintenance unprotected
glass to Low-M (Low
Maintenance) Glass®.
ClearShield maintains
the beautiful appearance
of a building as the
technology prevents
staining, and therefore
reduces maintenance
costs as well as time
and effort for the
occupier.
The improved formulation
is based on the
company's proven polymer
technology, and provides
an even higher
resistance to corrosion
and staining for easier
cleaning without the
need for harsh chemicals.
Today, there is no
reason to ignore the
need for protection of
glass against corrosion
and chemical attack, as
the affordable
technology exists that
enables glass to keep
its promises of clarity,
visibility and
cleanliness. ClearShield
can be applied in the
factory using either
manual or fully
automatic spraying
equipment or, as in this
case, onsite as part of
Ritec's award-winning
ClearShield System.
A delighted John now has
Low-M Glass once more
and is a great fan of
ClearShield. “It's an
excellent product," he
says. “If anyone asked
me I would certainly
recommend it."
Ritec is both pioneer
and market leader for
glass surface,
renovation, protection
and maintenance. Many
companies in over 30
countries have placed
their trust and
confidence in the
ClearShield System. With
more than 20 years of
actual field experience,
ClearShield is used for
all types of
applications including
commercial glazing,
residential windows,
conservatories, shower
enclosures, decorative
glass and glazing in
marine and railway
applications. |
