What does a homeowner do when they want rooflights to be easier to clean? They contact Ritec International of course, developers of the ClearShield Eco-System® that upgrades ordinary glass to ‘non-stick’, easy-clean glass.
One such homeowner is Val. But he is no ordinary homeowner. Val is an interior designer who has blended modern and contemporary design into a classic London Victorian house renovation, while highlighting and restoring the Victorian period features. Val is also behind the popular no5_thehouse Instagram account that currently attracts nearly 32,500 followers. He provides inspiration and incorporates innovative concepts in his South London home, fusing his ideas with seemingly effortless style and practicality.
Not surprising for an interior designer, Val meticulously researches any kind of requirements for his ongoing home improvement project. So thinking that his rooflights could benefit from some kind of easy-clean treatment, it was no surprise that Ritec – the pioneers of ‘non-stick’ glass surface treatments with over 40 years of experience – were the go-to experts.
Ritec’s On-Site Team treated Val’s rooflights with the ClearShield Eco-System®. The first phase was to remove any existing contaminants using specialist products. The next phase was to apply award-winning Ritec ClearShield®, a durable polymer-based protective glass surface treatment.
Unlike other glass surface treatments, ClearShield® is, uniquely, not a coating so will never peel, flake or discolour. Because it cross-links with itself and the glass surface, ClearShield® becomes part of the glass itself, making it highly durable. With the treatment complete, the once-ordinary unprotected surface is now upgraded to higher performance ClearShield Eco-Glass® that offers many benefits:
- The durable treatment resists staining and discolouration
- It is easier to clean and keep clean, requiring less time and effort without the need for harsh abrasives or methods
- The frequency of cleaning is reduced
- It helps to maximise light transmission so less artificial lighting is required
- Finally, the glass looks like new for longer, making for a happier homeowner!
Val commented: “This is such an incredible product! It’s been raining so much and the rooflights still look clean. I really wish I had known about this product back when I installed the glass. Your team have done a brilliant job and it was such a quick process. I’ll be suggesting Ritec ClearShield to clients in the future. Thank you!”
Apart from using Ritec’s On-Site Application Team or an approved applicator, homeowners can experience the same easy-clean benefits for all kinds of glass in and around the home. Thanks to Ritec’s range of Clear-Vision® DIY products, homeowners can protect their own windows, shower glass, vehicle glass, mirrors, glass furniture and even ceramic tiles, making them so much easier to clean and look sparkling for longer.
