One way to make a cramped bathroom look larger is to install a glass-encased shower, which will give the room a more spacious appearance. One problem, though: Over time, as the shower glass is subjected to soaps, shampoos and harsh cleaners, it can become cloudy. And as the residue hardens into a permanent build-up, the glass can appear dirty and unattractive.To solve that problem, Guardian Industries, a glass manufacturer based in Auburn Hills, Mich., has introduced ShowerGuard glass, which is specifically designed to resist the discoloration and corrosion caused by constant exposure to heat, humidity, hot water, soaps and household cleaners. It’s also easier to clean than standard glass and maintains its original appearance through the years, making it a good option for use in a small bathroom that is dependent on a glass shower to achieve an open feel.
The residue-shedding properties of ShowerGuard glass are built in during its manufacture, when the surface of the glass is permanently sealed using an ion beam process. The built-in protection is part of the glass itself, so it never needs to be re-applied. With minimal cleaning, the glass will stay clear, no matter what type of water your have. ShowerGuard glass is backed by a 10-year warranty. For information or to find a local dealer: www.showerguardglass.com.
