PITTSBURGH, Jan. 21, 2013 – CLARVISTA(R) glass, a shower glass product made by PPG Industries (NYSE:PPG), was named among 2012 “Products of the Year” by editors of USGlass, Metal and Glazingmagazine.
Clarvista glass is made with a proprietary coating that is fused on the glass, sealing the surface and making it resistant to corrosion caused by heat, humidity, soap and chemicals in household cleaning products. As a result, with regular maintenance, Clarvista glass can maintain its showroom looks longer than competing shower glass products.
Clarvista shower glass is available with conventional clear glass or STARPHIRE(R) ultra-clear glass by PPG. When combined withStarphire glass, Clarvista glass produces a highly transparent shower glass, making it ideal for upscale homes, resorts and commercial spas.
