ClearShield in Commercial Architecture and Buildings
For Architects, Specifiers, Building Contractors, Building Owners and Facilities Managers, ClearShield provides the following benefits:
|
- Protects glass and glazing during construction from contamination and subsequent damage.
- Reduces remedial glazing repairs, maintenance and replacement which increase delays and costs.
- Keeps glass looking like new and maintains the pristine appearance of the façade for longer.
- Increases the appearance and satisfaction/ desirability for tenants, owners and occupiers.
|
During Construction
Building contractors face the problem of concrete splatter, cement dust and slurry and other forms of alkaline construction materials damaging and corroding the surface of glass on building sites.
ClearShield helps to reduce:
|
- Remedial glazing work and costly replacement for glass surface damage.
- Costs from unsatisfactory final builder's clean or call-backs.
- Delayed certification on glazing handover.
|
After Construction:
Inevitably unprotected glass becomes contaminated over time, ruining a building's appearance. Typical contaminants include concrete and silicone run-off, traffic fumes, atmospheric pollution, tree sap and bird lime.

The result is costly and difficult cleaning. With ClearShield already installed however, the result is:
|
- Increased effectiveness and reduced frequency of window cleaning.
- Glass stays cleaner for longer.
- Less use of access equipment, resources and costs to maintain the glass.
- Improved ‘sustainability’ characteristics for the building due to the fewer resources and costs required to maintain the building.

ClearShield Protection
The benefits of ClearShield Low-M (Low-Maintenance) Glass go far beyond its easy-to-clean properties. It protects the glass surface from damage caused by corrosion, weathering and chemical contamination.
Interior and Decorative Glass
For sandblasted, acid etched and all types of decorative glass, ClearShield provides end users with the following benefits:
|
- Resists finger marks and other staining caused by organic oils, fats and body contaminants
- Resists other organic and inorganic contaminants
- Is always easier to clean and keep clean
- Maintains visual aesthetics, appearance and intended design
|
ClearShield Protection
Ordinary sandblasted glass easily and rapidly loses its visual appeal through staining, especially from finger marks. Maintenance is very difficult if not impossible. However, protection with ClearShield is the ideal solution as it resists finger marks and staining and also maintains the intended beautiful appearance of decorative glass. In addition, sandblasted glass resembles the more desirable satin look of acid-etched glass.
