Australia: Enduroshield glass coating applied to Infinity Tower

The largest residential tower in Brisbane, Australia – the Infinity Tower – is applying EnduroShield ultra-thin, transparent coating to protect the glass curtain wall during construction.

The Infinity Tower, a 262m (860ft) high-rise created by Karimbla Constructions (a division of Mertion Apartments), is currently under construction in Brisbane, Australia. This uniquely designed tower, due for completion in 2014, will contain 81 levels of residential and serviced apartments.
EnduroShield was chosen to protect the 20,800 m² (223,900 ft²) of glass façade during the construction process against staining and etching from exposure to cement slurry, dirt and grime. Having experienced problems in the past and needing to replace damaged glass, a solution was required for this project.
The application of EnduroShield is underway in the glass curtain wall factory after first receiving training, consultation and implementation of a quality assurance procedure. Having been certified, the factory is authorized to provide the EnduroShield 10 Year Warranty.
Once installation begins onsite, EnduroShield will protect against the harsh conditions during construction such as splatter and run off from concrete and cement which if allowed to remain on the glass, can lead to etching and pitting from the lime reacting with the glass, necessitating the costly replacement of the glass.
EnduroShield is the smart choice for exterior glass surfaces providing a permanent (independently tested and certified for durability to simulate a lifetime of 10 years on interior and exterior use by TÜV Rheinland, Germany), ultra-thin, transparent coating that completely adheres to the glass surface, providing a reduction of both the frequency and the time spent cleaning.
