GlassProtect · by JUMBOGUARD
Glass & balustrades, sealed.
Tired of scrubbing pool fencing and balustrades every few weeks, especially through winter? GlassProtect makes water bead up and sheet straight off, so rain and a quick rinse do most of the work and the glass largely keeps itself clean, hands-off through the filthy winter months. It is a coating tested 3× more durable than the leading brand, and it protects glass against permanent etching. Same glass, far less effort to keep it clear.
The problem
Why glass never stays clean.
Glass looks tough, but its smooth surface gives water and grime nothing to run off, so a film builds up and you are back out there scrubbing, again and again. And left to dwell, hard water can slowly etch the glass itself, and once glass is etched, scrubbing can't bring it back.
Hard water
Left to dwell on the glass, hard water can slowly etch the surface for good.
Salt air
Coastal spray builds up on pool fencing and balustrades.
Oily grime
Airborne oils and grime bond into a greasy film that water alone won't shift, so the glass films over and needs scrubbing, and it is what water-only coatings can't repel.
Scrubbing wear
Repeated hard scrubbing to keep it clear slowly wears at the glass.
Step one
First, we prepare it properly.
A professional clean removes existing mineral film, salt and grime from the glass, so the coating bonds to a clean surface. The clean is included. It's preparation, not a separate service.
Step two
Then GlassProtect changes how it behaves.
- Protects against permanent etching. GlassProtect resists and delays the hard-water etching that bonds to and slowly eats untreated glass, by keeping mineral water from dwelling long enough to attack.
- Repels oily grime. GlassProtect is genuinely oil-repellent (an initial oil contact angle around 84°), so the greasy film that dulls glass and defeats water-only coatings can no longer grip. Grime lifts with a rinse instead of hard scrubbing and chemicals.
- Rain does most of the cleaning. Water beads up and sheets straight off with far less dwell, so most of it runs off before it can dry on. Through the filthy winter months the glass largely keeps itself clean, and a quick rinse handles the rest.
- Salt- and chemical-resistant. Coastal spray and pool chemicals rinse off instead of building up and attacking the glass, with chemical resistance across pH 1 to 13.
- 3× more durable than the leading brand. Tested and still beading after 3,000 scrub cycles.
- Optically clear, invisible on the glass. At 99% light transmission the coating is invisible, so your glass looks exactly the same, just easier to keep clear.
- Keeps glass clearer for longer. Water keeps sheeting off long after application, so the glass looks after itself between cleans and a quick rinse keeps it clear.

The proof
Tested 3× more durable than the leading brand.
Cream cleanser and a scrub pad is what actually wears a glass coating out. In comparable abrasion testing, GlassProtect held its water repellency about three times longer, still beading at 3,000 cycles, where the leading brand's test had already ended at 1,000.

Questions, answered
Straight about keeping it clean.
Does sealed glass still need any upkeep?
Most of the upkeep looks after itself. GlassProtect makes water bead and sheet straight off, so rain and a quick rinse do most of the work, and the glass largely keeps itself clean, hands-off through the filthy winter months. When you want it crystal clear, an occasional wipe or squeegee goes a long way, because the slick coating gives grime far less to hold onto. It is a genuine drop in the cleaning you do.
Does GlassProtect really cut down the cleaning?
Yes, noticeably. On bare glass, water clings, dries slowly and leaves a film you scrub back off. On coated glass, water beads up and sheets away with far less dwell, so most of it runs off before it can dry on. Rain and a quick rinse do the bulk of the work, and when you want it crystal clear an occasional wipe or squeegee is quick, because the slick coating gives grime little to hold onto.
What does GlassProtect do about etching?
Glass is the one surface where protection against etching is real. GlassProtect resists and delays the hard-water etching that bonds to and slowly eats untreated glass, by keeping mineral water from dwelling long enough to attack. It does not stop physical scratching or every chemical, but it holds off the mineral etching that permanently ruins bare glass.
We're on bore or reticulation water. Does GlassProtect still help?
Yes, and it is exactly where it earns its keep. Bore and reticulation water leave bare glass filmed over and needing constant scrubbing. On a coated surface, water beads and sheets straight off with far less dwell, so most of it runs off before it can dry on. The glass keeps clearer for longer on its own, and the occasional rinse or wipe handles the rest.
