PITTSBURGH, February 5, 2018 — Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) has launched clarvista.com, a new website dedicated to educating consumers, designers, specifiers and other building professionals about Clarvista^® glass, a premium shower glass that, with proper care, looks newer longer than other shower glass products.

The site is designed to help architects, interior designers and homeowners learn about the durability, clarity and value of Clarvista^® glass, which is formulated with a super-protective pyrolytic coating that is fused to the glass, enabling it to resist dullness and hazing throughout its service life.

The site features results from lab testing that quantifies the superior performance of Clarvista^® glass, along with detailed instructions for cleaning and maintenance; contact information for Clarvista^® glass suppliers in the United States, Canada and Europe; and a photo gallery of Clarvista^® glass installations.

Visitors can also download a product brochure as well as a comprehensive technical paper detailing how Clarvista^® glass compares to other coated and uncoated shower glasses in a battery of rigorous durability tests.

Robert Struble, manager, brand and communications, Vitro Architectural Glass, said the website highlights both the strength and beauty of Clarvista^® glass. “The art and science of Clarvista^® glass make it an ideal choice for designers and specifiers for high-end luxury resorts and spas, but there’s also great information for consumers who want the long-term value and performance a premium shower glass can bring to their homes,” he explained.

Clarvista^® glass is available on conventional clear glass, Starphire Ultra-Clear^® glass by Vitro Glass and acid-etched glass in thicknesses of 6, 10 and 12 millimeters.
