ClearShield® the Capital Glass Protection for Grand Millennium Hotel Auckland!

For over 40 years, Ritec’s ClearShield® ‘non-stick’, easy-clean glass surface treatment has been protecting all kinds of glass, maintaining the ‘as-new’ appearance for longer. Therefore it is no surprise many hotels around the world have specified this unique and award-winning technology. Whether it is a façade, balustrade, mirror or shower door, ClearShield® makes these glass surfaces look pristine for longer and easier to clean and keep clean, saving time and money too.

Bath screen glass

One such example is the Grand Millennium Hotel in Auckland. ClearShield New Zealand, Ritec International’s Marketing Partner in the region, was approached by the hotel to discuss renovating and protecting glass bath and shower screens. This would be significantly cheaper, quicker and less disruptive than replacement. Additionally, ClearShield’s ability to resist bacteria (which viruses depend on to replicate) creates a more hygienic environment, helping to reassure guests post-COVID-19 pandemic. Local fully-trained ClearShield® applicators, ClearShield Auckland, were contracted to carry out the job and upgraded over 430 bath and shower screens.

Shower screen glass

For ordinary, unprotected bathroom glass, over time the surface inevitably becomes contaminated with a build-up of mineral deposits, limescale and soap / shampoo staining. This staining can be difficult to remove and left on the surface will impact clarity as well as leave an unsanitary perception. Surely no hotel should tolerate this problem.

Lift glass

Ritec’s ClearShield Eco-System® was the perfect solution. The System consists of three stages: renovation, protection with ClearShield® surface treatment and maintenance. Glass panels were first fully restored using special Ritec products to bring the surface back to its ‘as-new’ appearance. Next came the application of ClearShield® itself to protect the surface. Finally, Ritec’s environmentally-friendly after-care programme prolongs the life of ClearShield®.

Lift surround glass

Other surfaces such as the glass lift, glass surrounding the lift and restaurant glass were also renovated and protected with the ClearShield Eco-System®. The lift glass surround was in particular heavily-stained by water splashing from irrigation sprinklers but was renovated and protected to bring the shine back to the hotel entrance area, making it very welcoming once more.

Restaurant glass

One hotel staff member was particularly impressed with ClearShield Auckland, commenting: “Thank you very much for your hard work. You have done a great job, I definitely will recommend you to my colleagues!”.

So if you need glass surfaces looking as new as the day it was installed, ask for the proven ClearShield Eco-System®, perfect for all hotel glass!

ClearShield® ‘Non-Stick’ Protection a Necessity for Luxury Residence!

All glass aspects of a new luxurious private residence in Raipur in Chhattisgarh, Central India have been upgraded to ClearShield Eco-Glass® thanks to Roshnak Systems.

Roshnak Systems is the exclusive Marketing Partner in India for UK-based Ritec International.

During the lavish property’s design phase, Roshnak’s client went with a very modern and sophisticated look, meaning extensive use of glass was a given. Consequently, Roshnak Systems were contacted directly by the client as they specified ClearShield® as the preferred choice to protect the glass surface.

Soon after, Roshnak’s experienced and knowledgeable On-Site Team went to work. They protected 5,000 square feet (465m²) of glass encompassing windows, balustrades, doors and partitions all within the stipulated time, upgrading the once-ordinary glass to higher performance ClearShield Eco-Glass®.

ClearShield Eco-Glass® resists dirt, moisture, staining and discolouration. Cleaning typically takes half the time compared to ordinary unprotected glass and uses less effort and water without the need for harsh abrasives or methods. ClearShield Eco-Glass® also looks pristine for longer, befitting the beautiful appearance of the rest of property. To top it off, Roshnak also offered complimentary after-care to maintain the sparkle of ClearShield Eco-Glass® for many years to come.

The client was absolutely delighted with the work carried out by Roshnak’s On-Site Team. Raunak Bhagwat, Roshnak’s Managing Director, commented: “Customer satisfaction always remains at the centre of everything we do.
