Dortech Maintenance has just completed its first significant glass maintenance project, utilising the award-winning ClearShield Eco-System™. The works were carried out on the site of NewCold’s new offices and facility in Wakefield, a specialist, international refrigerated logistics company and included the treatment of over 250m² of glazing.

The benefits of ClearShield® include a significant reduction in the amount of time it takes to clean a glazed screen, window or roof-light and the cleaning cycle by half on average. It is therefore perfect for use on buildings in town centres, in close vicinity to railway lines, leisure centres, or glazing in ‘hard to reach’ or inaccessible locations.

Dortech’s Managing Director, James Sutherland was delighted with this latest development stating: 

“We are really pleased with our new partnership with Ritec and look forward to offering their ClearShield product on our projects.”

 “Even post-recession, budgets are limited, so this treatment provides building owners and users with an excellent, cost effective solution to maintaining and improving the appearance of a buildings glazing.”

 “The results from our first project are impressive and we forecast a strong growth in demand in glass maintenance and refurbishment work moving forward.”

Ritec International is delighted to announce that Trade Frame, one of Britain’s largest uPVC window and door manufacturers has become a licensed ClearShield^® applicator.  Trade Frame, who have offices and showrooms in Peterborough, Swindon, St Albans and Cheltenham, have taken advantage of Ritec’s new ClearShield Eco-System™ package for Window Fabricators and Installers and will apply ClearShield^® to their sealed units.

Proving to be the first and only glazing component with a three-way guarantee covering performance, added value and profit at every step of the supply chain, the new ClearShield Eco-System™ gives Fabricators and Installers the competitive edge needed in the crowded market place.

As experienced by Trade Frame, the system is easy to integrate with low set-up costs and includes:

• full commercial and technical training and assistance
• new sales tools

and

• marketing support

Customers do not have to stock a new type of glass; Ritec’s simple added-value package enables unprotected glass to be upgraded into ClearShield Eco-Glass™ in the factory. The System also offers companies the ability to renovate, protect and maintain existing glass on-site, giving them unique opportunities to add new revenue streams.

Mark Smith, Director of Trade Frame says: “We have been trading for over 30 years, making us one of the longest running companies in our industry.  We experienced the benefits that ClearShield^® could bring to window manufacturers and realised that we must get on board with this latest innovation. We now are offering this as standard.”

Brian McDonald, Sales and Business Development Manager, says: “We are delighted to welcome Trade Frame on board. They are now one of many glass manufacturers, processors and fabricators worldwide that are using the ClearShield Eco-System™ to produce a higher quality glass that provides a wide range of solutions for customers.”
