SAN FRANCISCO — One of the most common complaints regarding shower doors is the difficulty involved in keeping them clean. Most people don’t realize there’s a reason this is so difficult: Glass is porous, just like our skin. When the pores in a glass shower door are compromised by contaminants, it makes the glass harder to clean and leads to issues with corrosion and water stains.
Fortunately, there are products that address the difficulty of maintaining shower doors. One is called “Diamond Seal,” a polymer coating that’s applied to the interior of the shower glass. Diamond Seal gets into the pores of the glass so contaminants can’t, which makes cleaning easier and less frequent and consequently helps prevent water stains.
While Diamond Seal can protect your existing shower door against contamination, if you’re installing a new shower door, it’s worthwhile to consider ShowerGuard® glass. Similarly to Diamond Seal, ShowerGuard protects against contamination, but instead of being a liquid solution that’s applied externally, the formula is actually baked onto the glass itself to provide permanent protection against corrosion and staining.

If you're having difficulty keeping your shower door clean, you'll be glad to know there's a product that makes this easier. Today, we're in San Francisco with diamond certified expert contributor Tom Nan of California Shower Door Corporation to learn more. Today's tip is a Surface protector, and for glass, one of the most common complaints of clients regarding shower doors is the inability to keep the shower doors clean.

There is a Surface protectant that we offer by the name of Diamond Seal that is a polymer coating that we apply to the interior of the glass to seal the pores of the glass in order to minimize cleaning. Most people don't realize that glass has pores like our skin. So, if the pores of the glass are compromised by contaminants, you won't be able to clean the glass very well.

Diamond Seal gets into the pores of the glass so that contaminants cannot, making the cleaning of the glass easier and not as often, and most importantly, without a lot of elbow grease. We recommend using Diamond Seal to the interior surface of your glass to aid in the cleaning process.
