How to Protect Your Glass Features

Glass installations, whether it's a stylish shower screen, sleek windows, or sturdy glass doors, can elevate the look and feel of your home or business. However, without proper care, these beautiful features can quickly lose their shine or even suffer from damage. Here are some practical tips on how to protect your glass features and ensure their longevity.

1. Regular Cleaning
   Regular cleaning is key to maintaining the clarity and appearance of your glass. For shower screens, it's essential to wipe down the glass after each use to remove soap scum, water spots, and mineral deposits. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the surface. For windows and doors, a routine clean with a gentle glass cleaner will keep them sparkling.
2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
   While cleaning, avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the glass surface or the seals around it. Opt for pH-neutral cleaners that are safe for glass and won’t cause wear over time. This is especially important for shower screens, where harsh chemicals can degrade the glass or the protective coatings.
3. Regular Servicing
   Like any other feature in your home, glass installations benefit from regular servicing. Whether it's resealing the edges of shower screens or checking the rollers and tracks of glass doors, routine maintenance can catch small issues before they turn into costly repairs. At Lumba Glass & Glazing, we offer expert servicing to ensure your glass features remain in top condition for years to come.
4. Quality Materials Matter
   Investing in high-quality glass and materials is essential for ensuring durability. At Lumba Glass & Glazing, we use only the best materials for our installations, from toughened glass for safety to durable seals and hardware that stand the test of time. Quality materials not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your space but also help prevent cracks, chips, and other types of damage.
5. Protect from Impact
   While glass is durable, it’s still vulnerable to heavy impacts. Be mindful of slamming doors or objects that might fall against your windows. Installing protective films or using soft, cushioned seals on door edges can help reduce the risk of damage.

By following these simple tips and investing in regular maintenance, you can ensure that your glass features remain beautiful and functional for many years. Need assistance with your glass installations? Contact Lumba Glass & Glazing on 0413 959 809 for expert advice and servicing.
