This amazing coating keeps windows and other glass and ceramic surfaces, clean, streak free and protected from the elements. Our polymer coating is a super hydrophobic coating which has natural self cleaning properties, resists and repels algae, fungi, bird lime, fly dirt and also reduces dust from static build up. It was originally developed for the marine industry to keep shipping windscreens and glass clean on many a treacherous voyage.
Our self clean glass coating has been tried, tested and proven over the last 15 years. Recently, Elpiem Ltd were the preferred contractor for Rain Racer Developments to apply the self clean glass coating to over 350m2 of laminated glass at Europe’s largest inner city shopping centre, Westfield in Shepherds Bush, London.
In February 2011 A & P Group Falmouth who are the leading force in ship repair, conversion and marine services requested our services to apply our hydrophic coating to Sea France Berlioz. We coated all of the glazed area surround the bridge. The windows on the bridge or "wheelhouse" as it is sometimes known, being most critical for the captain and his navigators to have clear vision in all weather conditions.
Our self clean glass coating coating is considered the world’s most durable coating for glass and ceramics of it's type in the world today, it's uses include:
Windows - perfect vision, glass remains cleaner for longer.
Conservatory glass - enjoy looking through clean glass into your garden.
Conservatory roof glass - we leave your roof clean and protected from the elements.
Glass shower screens - prevents lime scale build up.
Our 8 Stage Application Process for Windows and Conservatories.
1. Wash frames and remove all traces of paint spots and sealants etc from glass. Treat glass with GPC and then wash with Marine Grade Burnishing Gel using non abrasive cloths.
2. Rinse thoroughly to remove all residues and test glass to ensure it has achieved optimum bonding capacity. Repeat if necessary.
3. Dry frames and glass thoroughly.
4. Apply hydrophobic coating and leave to dry for about 15 minutes.
5. Apply a second coat of rain racer and leave to dry for a further 15 minutes.
6. Leave hydrophobic coating to dry to a haze then agitate the coating using a soft brush and rinse thoroughly.
7. Quality control test with smooth water flow to ensure 100% satisfaction. (If coating has failed repeat steps 1 - 6)
8. Dry and Polish frames to finish.
For perfect clarity and vision a wash and polish with anti smear cleaner of all internal glass is also offered and recommended.
