ClearShield

Yes! When treated with ClearShield ®, your glass is protected during daily use. ClearShield ® Shower Protector:

• Prevents hard-water stains and limescale-induced clouding.
• Discourages bacterial growth that can stain the surface of the glass.
• Provides a non-stick, easy-clean surface.

Our specialists will apply ClearShield® glass treatment prior to installation and provide detailed after-care instructions.

No. However, if the shower glass is treated with ClearShield®, then the glass is guaranteed by ClearShield® and stands against corrosion and stains. We will replace any glass that is guaranteed by ClearShield®. Scratches aren't covered by our warranty, and probably can't be removed.

For best results, and to maximize the performance of your ClearShield® protected shower glass, simply rinse your glass shower door with water and squeegee dry after each use. Then clean your shower glass every 2 - 3 weeks with ClearShield® After Care. ClearShield® After Care is safe to use on all shower hardware and framework. We do recommend using After Care weekly in hard water areas.

DO NOT USE: Abrasive cleaning methods, pads, and compounds, highly alkaline cleaners, or commercial strength such as Lime Away on any ClearShield® treated Glass. Windex will not harm ClearShield® treated glass, however, they're unnecessarily strong, and not recommended. Instead, use our amazing Glass Cleaner, we promise you will love it!

Yes, and we recommend this glass protection application for all of our glass products. Whether you choose a framed or frameless glass shower enclosure for your bathroom, ClearShield® is Dulles Glass' recommendation to keep your shower glass looking new at all times.

Make sure you register for your ClearShield® Warranty, online through the company clearshieldonline.com to activate your extended warranty right after your shower door purchase. Then if there is a problem, contact them for directions. This warranty is separate from the Dulles Glass Warranties you may have on the hardware and shower door itself.

Even diligent cleaning will not prevent unprotected shower glass from corrosion forever. Though it doesn't appear to be, glass is porous, and without a solid surface barrier protection like ClearShield®, it will eventually become corroded by hard-water stains and other contaminants.

If you don't want glass protection treatment for your glass shower door, it will be especially important to squeegee dry untreated shower glass after every use. Also, the shower glass will need frequent cleaning. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning products on your shower glass. Abrasive cleaners will hasten the decline of your glass by eating into its porous nature providing spaces for contaminants to settle.

Remember, though, that if you're ever planning on selling your home, your beautiful high-end bathroom will lose its appeal to future home buyers if there are hard-water stains or clouding on your glass.

Absolutely. The bathroom and the kitchen are the most important considerations for prospective home buyers. A remodeling magazine survey on the future of new homes revealed that home buyers expect more upgrades in new construction – a demand struggling home builders are willing to meet. So, upgrading your bathroom makes the resale value of your home more competitive against new homes.

Also, glass shower doors are a great investment because these durable structures will hold their value. With our ClearShield® glass protection and proper aftercare, your glass shower door will remain "like-new" for years to come.

No, it is not required to use our product line. However, ClearShield® After Care is specially formulated to gently clean shower glass, is environmentally safe, and comes with a guaranteed 10-year warranty from the company.
