Enhance™ by GGI is a coating designed to protect glass surfaces from corrosion caused by excessive exposure to water, high-humidity, minerals, dirt and other contaminants. Ideal for both commercial and residential glass applications, the coating can be applied to clear and ultra-clear low iron glass, keeping it looking clean and clear - as well as to all other glass types, resulting in a more hygienic solid surface material that is easier to clean and disinfect. While not antimicrobial, glass surfaces treated with Enhance are both hydrophobic [repels water] and oleophobic [repels oil] keeping the glass cleaner - for a longer period of time, and reducing the spread of germs and bacteria.As a certified fabricator, GGI can apply this ultra-thin, permanent coating to one or both glass surfaces using X-Line High Speed automated coating equipment. The machine-applied coating process provides a more uniform, durable coating designed to provide a maximum level of protection. Limited life-time warranty for all interior applications. 10-year warranty for exterior applications.
