Why Apply a Hydrophobic
Glass Treatment?

A hydrophobic coating for glass (as the name suggests) is a coating that repels water: hydro (water) phobic (phobia). The glass literally becomes averse to having water touch it, causing the water to slide easily and cleanly off the surface. It is a water repellent, which makes it incredibly useful as a glass coating for a number of applications.

Diamon-Fusion® hydrophobic glass products keep all your glass cleaner because the water doesn’t stick and therefore becomes harder to leave residue and streaks. The coating can be applied to a wide range of surfaces including, but not limited to, windows, glass railings, solar panels, ceramic tile, granite, and porcelain.

It is the best hydrophobic glass treatment as a shower glass coating, easily repelling soapy water that drips down the sides of the glass before it can dry and leave soap scum and water stains on the glass shower door.

BENEFITS OF APPLYING A HYDROPHOBIC COATING FOR GLASS

MAKES THE GLASS EASIER TO CLEAN

Similar to how a non-stick cooking pan works, glass surfaces that have been treated with a hydrophobic coating become easier to clean and require less care to maintain. This is because the coating fills in the microscopic peaks and valleys of the glass that would normally penetrate the surface. As a result, it becomes harder for soap scum and contaminants from hard water to stick to the surface, making them far easier to wipe off when cleaning.

However, it is important to keep in mind that even when a water repellent coating is applied to the glass, you still have to clean it every now and then, but the frequency to which you have to clean it is far less frequent.

PROTECTS AGAINST HARD WATER STAINS

Once applied to the glass, a high-quality hydrophobic coating also easily repels hard water, soap scum, and other contaminants from sticking to the glass. This makes it less likely for stains to form on the surface, and in the event that they do, they are significantly easier to clean, as the stains form on top of the surface as opposed to embedding themselves into the surface.

VISUALLY ENHANCES THE GLASS

Everything mentioned up to this point are valid benefits as to why you should apply a hydrophobic coating to shower glass, or any other glass surface for that matter; however, they all feed into the most important reason people apply a hydrophobic coating: it keeps your glass clean and clear. Because the coating creates an ultra-thin barrier on the glass, hard water doesn’t accumulate as often, and when it does, it’s significantly easier to clean. The result is glass that looks cleaner and more beautiful on a consistent basis.

If you want that “beautiful hotel shower look” in your own home, apply Diamon Fusion® hydrophobic glass coating and enjoy crystal clear glass.

HOW LONG DOES DIAMON-FUSION® HYDROPHOBIC COATING LAST?

Diamon-Fusion® has a lifetime warranty on residential surfaces, and a 15-year warranty on commercial structures such as building façades and glass railings. With proper care, the coating will last for years on end; however, longevity is mostly dependent on hard water levels, glass usage, surface abrasion, and much more.

Nevertheless, if you combine this lifetime warranty – or even 15-year warranty – with the multiple benefits mentioned above, you’ll see your glass surfaces lasting much longer. Imagine drastically reducing how often you need to clean your shower glass from water stains. That is a lot of money saved in time, supplies, and labor.

DIAMON-FUSION® IS THE MOST DURABLE WATER-REPELLENT PROTECTIVE GLASS COATING

It all adds up to the basic fact that Diamon-Fusion® is the best option for a hydrophobic glass treatment. It saves you time, money and labor, which in turn saves you stress and headache.

Diamon-Fusion® is an attractive feature for potential homebuyers – something you can use to incentivize them to buy a property. It’s attractive for business owners. It’s a good investment with cutting-edge technology.
