The Application Process for Protective Coatings on Shower Doors

Applying a protective coating to shower doors is a practical way to enhance their longevity, appearance, and ease of maintenance. At our custom shower door company, we offer Diamon Fusion®, a specialized glass treatment designed to protect and preserve shower door surfaces. Here’s an inside look at the application process for protective coatings and how Diamon Fusion®’s technology works to give your shower doors lasting brilliance.

1. Preparing the Glass Surface

Before applying any protective coating, it’s essential to start with a clean, residue-free glass surface. Any contaminants, including soap scum, oils, or water spots, can interfere with the coating’s adhesion.

• Cleaning: The glass is thoroughly cleaned with specialized solutions to remove any residues. This step is crucial to ensure that the coating bonds effectively with the glass.
• Polishing (if needed): For older or heavily used doors, a gentle polish may be necessary to remove any embedded impurities.

2. Applying the Diamon Fusion® Coating

With the glass fully prepared, it’s time to apply the Diamon Fusion® protective layer. Diamon Fusion® is unique because it uses a two-step chemical process to create a durable, invisible barrier on the glass.

• Step 1: Bonding: The first step is to apply a bonding layer. This initial coating adheres to the glass surface at a molecular level, creating a solid foundation for protection.
• Step 2: Sealing: Once the bonding layer is in place, a secondary sealing layer is applied. This step fortifies the glass by sealing the pores and forming a water-repellent, stain-resistant barrier.

The combination of bonding and sealing transforms the surface, making it resistant to stains, mineral buildup, and environmental wear.

3. Curing Time and Finishing Touches

After the application, the coating needs a brief curing period. During this time, the protective layers fully adhere and integrate with the glass.

• Curing: While Diamon Fusion® doesn’t require extensive downtime, allowing the coating to settle maximizes its durability and effectiveness.
• Final Inspection: Once cured, the glass is inspected to ensure even coverage and a flawless finish.

4. Ongoing Care and Maintenance

One of the benefits of a Diamon Fusion® coating is that it reduces the need for intensive cleaning. With its hydrophobic properties, water and contaminants are less likely to cling to the glass, making routine maintenance easier.

• Simple Cleaning: A gentle cleaner and soft cloth are usually all that’s required to maintain the coating’s effectiveness.
• Periodic Maintenance: To maintain optimal performance, periodic inspections and reapplication (if needed) are recommended based on the usage and water quality in your area.

By following these steps, our expert technicians ensure your shower doors receive a professional and long-lasting protective coating. Diamon Fusion® not only makes glass surfaces easier to clean but also shields them from the damaging effects of daily exposure to water, soap, and minerals.
