Sustainable Glazing Solutions for Glass

Invisible Shield Protective Glass Coatings for the Construction Industry

The aesthetic beauty of glass allows for extraordinary creations in the world of architecture. Yet, even the most stunning architectural glass in the world is continuously at risk of degradation, corrosion and permanent damage, if left unprotected.

Now you can add Invisible Shield ‘Hydrophobic’ Polysiloxane Coatings to protect & preserve glass long-term against etching, staining & contaminants. The Invisible Shield is being specified on global projects to protect glass against staining and reduce maintenance costs.

Prevents Permanent Etching, Pitting, Scratching and Corrosion

The glass coating protects windows/facades, partitions, glass walls, shower glass, skylights, and more through the construction process, and long after, to prevent costly damage from chemicals, salt, debris, construction debris, and corrosion that permanently obscures the glass, and requires costly restoration or replacement. For new home builders, the construction process can be two years or longer and it can have a very damaging effect and impact on the installed glass.

Invisible Shield Window Washers
Enhances Glass Value and Appearance

Windows protected with Invisible Shield enhance the value, appearance, and sustainability of glass on all glass buildings & structures. The coating enhances the energy-efficiency of glass by optimizing high-performance windows, keeping them clean, clear & bright for much longer periods, compared to unprotected glass. In addition, the Invisible Shield glass coatings are chemical, abrasion, salt and UV resistant preventing the coating from breaking down for up to 15 years or longer offering improved appearance & sustainability.

Just as its named, Invisible Shield, acts as a durable “shield” for glass on homes, offices, store fronts, and buildings and provides an extra, thin layer of water, soil, stain, and scratch protection. The protective coating reduces wear and tear on glass, caused by weather/moisture, dirt, grime, salt, chemicals, pollution, and emissions in the environment that normally results in etching, pitting, scratches, and other degradation. For large scale commercial and architectural building projects, the glass coatings prevent damage from materials such as cement slurry, aluminum run off, metal oxides, dry wall powder, dust, grit, and other
impacts to dramatically improve and extend the life and appearance of the glass.

Willis Tower in Chicago
Provides Easier Cleaning and Less Costly Maintenance

Cleaning glass on residential & commercial glass, mid & high-rise buildings are required frequently. It is recommended quarterly and can cost up to $3.00 or more per foot on large buildings that are difficult to scale, incur increased liability and can have hundreds of thousands of square feet of glass. This can lead to spending substantial budgets and money each year…just to clean the glass. Water/weather, soil, dirt, grime roll off the glass, saving time, labor, and reduced cleaning & maintenance. Unelko’s Invisible Shield Glass Coatings are being used to save time, labor and maintenance costs on homes, offices, glass buildings, solar panels, shower glass, glass partitions & skylights, marine glass, auto glass, and glass structures world-wide, including famous buildings such as the Louvre Museum, Biltmore House, the Shanghai Tower, and the Sears/Willis Tower in Chicago.

Advantages of Using Invisible Shield Glass Coatings in Fabrication, Before or After Construction

  • Glass is Sealed, Polished & Protected, becomes Water, Soil & Stain Repellent: Invisible Shield reduces the penetration and impact of water/moisture, soil, stains, sand, chemicals, emissions, salt, and other environmental debris. It prevents glass abrasion, pitting, etching, weeping, and other damage. The Invisible Shield glass coatings have been tested to increase the scratch and chip resistance of glass by an additional 93% to keep glass in a “Like New” condition.
  • Enhances Appearance, Clarity & Value: The glass coating improves the appearance of glass, its clarity, value, and energy efficiency in homes, offices, and buildings by keeping the windows clean, preserved and protected. When glass on other buildings looks worn, abraded, stained, scratched, and damaged.
  • Amazing Durability: The thin film glass coating becomes part of the glass. It seals & protects glass at the nanoscale, molecular level to prevent wear & tear, damage, and degradation for up to 15 years and extends the life and appearance of Residential, Commercial and Architectural glass.
  • Low Maintenance: Reduces time, labor, and the cost of frequent cleanings, repairs, and costly replacements.
  • Superior Glass Protection: Prevents permanent damage such as etching, pitting, scratches, stains and degradation from the environment and harsh construction process. Dirt, grime, cement, dry wall dust, silicone, putty splatter, excessive tape, chemicals, and pollutants simply rinse, clean and wipe away.

How Does the Invisible Shield PRO 15 Coating Work?

Invisible Shield instantly bonds and seals the pores of glass at the molecular level. It creates a durable, webbed layer of glass protection that blocks out soil, stains, damage, and degradation. Once the glass coating is applied, water, soil, dirt, grime, salt, chemicals, and stains won’t stick to the surface. Any light dust, soil or debris that does form on the glass over time, is easily washed, rinsed, or simply wiped away. The water, soil and stain resistant properties of the Invisible Shield is why glass coatings are becoming more popular and are called “easy clean” or “low maintenance” coatings.

Invisible Shield is among the simplest coatings for professional window wash contractors to apply onsite and/or during fabrication by the producer. Additionally, its performance exceeds that of other “easy clean” coatings available in the market.

Invisible Shield Glass Coatings Reduce Time, Labor, and Ongoing Maintenance Costs

Residential, Commercial & Architectural glass is a significant investment. The price of glass has increased substantially and the long-term value, ongoing cost of cleaning and replacement is high. It is an unforeseen, and unsustainable cost for owners. The preservation of glass and the reduction in cleaning leads to significant savings, making the Invisible Shield glass coatings a very cost-effective feature, and smart solution for residential, commercial, and architectural glass buildings. By applying the protective coating early on glass homes and buildings, it preserves the glass in a pristine condition without the frequent cleanings, maintenance, and expensive replacement costs.

Invisible Shield & IS PRO 15 Protective Coatings Have a Promising Future!

With a growing demand for sustainability, energy-efficiency, and reduced glass maintenance cost, the use of the Invisible Shield Glass Coatings is a valuable feature that saves time, labor & money. As technology advances, and modern glass becomes even more expensive, the glass coating offers a cutting edge, low cost, “easy clean” and preservation solution that protects their glass investment. The use of Invisible Shield on residential windows, commercial & architectural glass including windows/facades, shower doors, glass walls & partitions, hotel glass, decorative glass, glass tile, and more is already making a big difference in cleaning cost.
