# Durable Glass Surface Protection

### Description

Be aware that glass without durable surface protection loses its visibility, clarity and cleanliness as a result of exposure to pollutants such as:

- Rainwater
- Traffic film and pollution
- Insects & bird droppings
- Tree sap
- Run-offs from building materials such as lead flashing, silicone, masonry and concrete

Now there is an easier way: ![Clear Shield Logo](https://metalco.epikouros.events/_images/products/ClearShield/clearshield_logo.jpg) prevents all forms of contamination from bonding to the glass, making it easier to clean and keep clean, and to retain its pristine appearance for longer.

## ClearShield

The “non-stick” protection is easy to apply and gives these unique benefits:

- Low-maintenance and energy saving, reduces by 50% on average
  - ongoing time, effort, water and costs of glass washing
  - frequency of accessing the glass for washing
  - risks of damage to the building façade
- Maintains the original light transmission of the glass allowing
  - performance properties of glass envisaged by architects to be realized, such as “t-values” and “day-lighting”
  - solar panels to maximize watt output and energy conversion
- Prevents damage to glass before, during and after construction
  - reduces or eliminates costly delays in construction due to glass surface damage during handling, transport, storage and installation by surface corrosion, weathering, chemical attack and casual abrasion
  - makes inspection of the glass faster and easier at all stages of fabrication and construction
  - reduces time, effort and costs of the final builder’s clean
  - maintains the building’s appearance and image.
