Go-Glass Choose Ritec’s New
ClearShield Eco-System™ for
London Restaurant Project
Leading glass and mirror manufacturer, Go-Glass, chose
Ritec’s new ClearShield Eco-System™ to protect and maintain its latest decorative
glass commission for the London edition of the Balthazar Restaurant...
This second Balthazar
restaurant was aunched to
great critical acclaim in Covent
Garden and again features
stunning glass ‘Art Deco’ style
interiors which are synonymous
with the brand.
Having used Ritec’s ‘non-stick’
glass surface treatment for many
years, Go-Glass applied the
ClearShield® easy-clean treatment
on to the special acoustic
laminated glass, in which they
had etched a sandblasted border
design, in their own factory.
Ordinary glass treated with
the ClearShield Eco-System™ is
upgraded to ClearShield EcoGlass™, resulting in a higher
quality of glass with excellent
clarity. The restaurant’s glass will
also hold a pristine appearance for
longer and will always be easier to
clean, providing low maintenance
cost savings for the restaurant.
In addition, ClearShield EcoGlass™ is more hygienic thanks
to its anti-microbial properties.
Meeting direct food contact
test requirements of the EU
and the USA Food & Drug
Administration (FDA), the anti-
microbial properties significantly
reduce the accumulation of
bacteria, viruses and fungi and it
is therefore ideal for commercial
and private kitchens.
Tracy Saunders, Director of GoGlass, says: “We have been using
ClearShield® on our sandblasted
glass for more than 12 years and
have always been delighted with
the results. In an environment
such as this busy restaurant we
needed to be confident that
the product we supplied would
be hard wearing and retain its
pristine appearance. Go-Glass
have signed up to the Ritec ‘Good
Glass Campaign’ and actively
endorse the use of ClearShield®
on glass showers, splash-backs and
all sandblasted glass the company
supplies.”
Stephen Byers, Managing
Director of Ritec International,
states: “We were delighted
that Go-Glass again chose the
ClearShield Eco-System™ to
protect and maintain the glass
supplied on this striking new
project. This really is a product
that adds considerable value at
every step of the supply chain.”
