A new easy-clean shower glass has been launched in the UK by Saint-Gobain Solaglas. SGG Aquacontrol Showers has a transparent coating of hydrophobic (water-repellent material) which is invisible to the naked eye. When water makes contact with the glass surface, the droplets merge together and tiny beads of water form and run straight off the glass surface. Any leftover residue can also be more easily cleaned away.
