Shower Glass Protection: VectraShield Coating
Keep Your Glass Clear and Beautiful
Your shower glass should stay as clear and beautiful as the day it’s installed. Our advanced VectraShield glass protection option helps homeowners protect their investment, reduce maintenance, and keep glass looking crystal clear.
VectraShield is backed by a lifetime warranty against stains, corrosion and buildup due to hard water.
What Is Shower Glass Protection?
Standard shower glass may look and feel smooth, but under a microscope it’s actually pitted and porous. Hard water, soap scum, and minerals can penetrate the surface of the glass, causing it to “cloud” as they slowly etch into the surface. To guard against this wear and tear, VectraShield provides a permanent seal against stains and corrosion and comes with a lifetime warranty.
About VectraShield
Unlike most glass protection, which wears off periodically and has to be reapplied, VectraShield provides a permanent barrier. The protective coating is factory-applied to the surface of the glass in a controlled environment during manufacturing, becoming one with the surface of the glass. It repels water (hydrophobic) and oil (oleophobic), protecting against soap scum, body fats, dirt, and minerals that would otherwise cause heavy staining.
VectraShield can be applied to most types of glass with a smooth surface, including annealed, tempered, sandblasted, and acid-etched glass, and the treatment can be applied to both sides of the glass for comprehensive protection.
Benefits of VectraShield:
- Permanent factory-applied protection with no reapplication needed
- Repels water and oil, reducing spotting and buildup
- Protects against soap scum, body fats, dirt, and minerals
- Compatible with annealed, tempered, sandblasted, and acid-etched glass
- Can be applied to both sides of the glass
- No harsh, toxic, or abrasive cleaners required; standard glass cleaners work fine
- Will not flake or peel; no “revitalizer” or top-up products needed
- Backed by a lifetime warranty through Drexler Glass Co.
Why Add Glass Protection?
Without protection, shower glass is exposed daily to hard water minerals, soap and shampoo residue, and heat and humidity. Over time, these elements can create permanent staining and make cleaning more difficult.
VectraShield helps:
- Keep glass looking newer longer
- Reduce cleaning time and effort
- Prevent long-term etching and buildup
