Limescale deposits without a clean coating

Glass is a natural product and is manufactured in accordance with European Standard EN 12150.

All manufacturers and glass suppliers must comply with this standard.

The glass surface is always the same and appears rough under a microscope. However, this is not visible to the naked eye. Limescale on single-pane safety glass forms after the water and its residues have dried.

The calcium carbonate in the water forms visible limescale on the microscopically rough surface of the glass. After a certain amount of time, this reacts alkalically with the glass and burns into it.

The only remedy here is to consistently remove the water droplets from the partition using a squeegee after use.

Showering puts a lot of strain on the glass. Not only the ingredients in soap, but above all calcareous water droplets damage the glass surface. Other causes can include residues from cleaning agents, fats (skin oils) or other mineral deposits on the glass from water vapour.

These stresses are greater in the lower area of the shower enclosure, as the water runs downwards and thus has longer contact with the glass in this area.

For basic cleaning, we recommend Glasurit fine polishing paste for glass or universal cleaner with 0000 steel wool.

Alternatively, you can mix vinegar essence 1:1 with water. Soak a household cloth with this mixture and stick it to the disc. After leaving it to work for 5-15 minutes, remove the cloths and rinse the disc.

This process should be repeated several times, as the limescale layer cannot be removed in one go.
