Overview of ShowerGuard Glass

Have you ever heard of ShowerGuard glass?

In our last blog, we talked about clear glass and low-iron glass. Another popular option is ShowerGuard glass—a premium product with a permanent, invisible protective coating. This coating is fused into the surface of the glass during manufacturing and works by filling in the microscopic peaks and valleys where water, soap scum, and minerals can collect.

The benefits?

• It helps prevent buildup and permanent etching.
• You’ll never need to reapply anything—it’s not a spray-on solution.
• It comes with a manufacturer’s lifetime warranty against staining and discoloration.

While ShowerGuard helps maintain a spotless appearance, it doesn’t completely eliminate the need for cleaning. A quick wipe-down with a squeegee remains your best friend for daily maintenance.

You can even combine low-iron glass and ShowerGuard for the clearest and most protected finish.

The Difference Between Clear and Low-Iron Glass

Did you know that there’s more than one type of glass used for shower doors?

Here’s an overview of two common types of glass: clear and low-iron.

Clear Glass: The Standard Starting Point

The most common base selection for frameless shower doors is clear glass. Standard clear glass has a slight greenish tint, which becomes noticeable especially when viewed from the edge or against light-colored tiles. This tint is due to the iron content in the glass.

Low-Iron Glass: A Cleaner, Truer Look

If you’re using lighter tiles or want to ensure your tile colors show through clearly, low-iron glass may be a better option. This type of glass has reduced iron content, eliminating the greenish hue and allowing for a brighter, more accurate view of your shower's interior. It's ideal for those seeking a crisp, clean aesthetic.
