New ClearShield Eco-System™ Earns Prestigious Transatlantic Honours

We have started the New Year on a high after winning the ‘Product of the Year’ Award from US Glass Magazine for its new ClearShield Eco-System™. This is the company’s 13th award for innovation and quality in its history. US Glass Magazine only honours the best of the best and has recognised products this year that are ‘so new, so revolutionary or unique that they merit honour’. This award is specifically significant to members of the industry as it is voted for by the readership of America’s leading glass publication.

Our new ‘non-stick’ ClearShield Eco-System™ has green benefits and cost savings that apply all along the supply chain as follows:

- Energy Savings on Routine Glass Maintenance – On average this product reduces by 50% the energy requirements for routine glass washing. This includes, but is not limited to: transportation to site, operation of access equipment, production of cleaning materials and consumption of water.

- Hygiene – ClearShield® anti-microbial protection can help to prevent the prevalence and spread of potentially harmful infections such as MRSA, e-coli and C-difficile, thanks to its unique ‘non-stick’ surface. This acts as a barrier that resists the adhesion and growth of bacteria, viruses and fungi.

- Enhanced ‘Day-Lighting’ – By maintaining the original light transmission of crystal clear glass for longer.

In addition, ClearShield® can be applied to both new and existing glass which can be bought back to a ‘like-new appearance and functionality’ by using the ‘Renovation’ step of the system.
This latest award comes hot on the heels of the company being named as Finalist for the G13 Environmental Initiative of the Year Award, thus achieving success simultaneously on both sides of the Atlantic!

Last year, Ritec was awarded the ISO 14001 standard. This International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard is designed to address the delicate balance between maintaining profitability and reducing environmental impact and is achieved with the commitment of the company as a whole. This is accepted internationally as a great achievement and accredits Ritec International as having an effective environmental management system in place within its business.

HouseKeeping: Glass Self Management (GSM)

Glass management in hotels has been an erratic affair historically, mostly under the ‘Reactive Management’ banner. Costs of regular cleaning sub-contractors have escalated, and as is so often the case, so has the inconvenience factor.  Add to this the question: Is that glass really clean?

Clearshield SA (Pty) Ltd have established a bespoke system which will enable the Hotel Industry to manage its own glass, entirely. Under the banner of ‘Glass Self Management’, the system empowers the hotel staff to apply the Clearshield glass surface protection products as well. From shower screens to roof lights, balustrade glass to high elevated windows, Clearshields GSM has the glass answer for hotel management.

Hotel staff will be trained:

To correctly and economically apply the Clearshield glass surface protection range.

To renovate contaminated glass, such as shower glass.

To correctly use the aftercare range of chemicals.

To  utilise the water-fed pole system on the exterior glass, which will also incorporate the Clearshield aftercare applications.

In overall glass management techniques.

Clearshield SA designs and installs the water-fed pole systems. When incorporated with the Clearshield surface protection systems, the GSM product gives the hotel management total control over one of the biggest problems in a hotel today: Clean glass, hygienic showers, hygienic cooking  area and restaurant glass.

 
And all in a cost-managed and controlled process. Call us Today!
