Saint-Gobain Glass has launched Timeless, an innovative shower glass designed to meet the growing demand for more sustainable, easy to clean, anti-corrosion glass.
Timeless features a fully mineral coating that is designed to achieve long-lasting transparency thanks to an advanced production process and an exclusive magnetron coating. The breakthrough technology, developed by Saint-Gobain Glass R&D team, creates an anti-corrosion glass that does not contain intentionally added organic chemicals like fluorinated compounds (e.g. PFAS).
In addition, as it is made of flat glass, Timeless is fully recyclable. Everyday cleaning is easy and limescale traces can be simply removed using natural agents such as vinegar.
According to Saint-Gobain Glass, Timeless glass addresses two major concerns for glass professionals in today’s market: the need for durable, crystal-clear shower glass, and the demand for safer, more sustainable products.
Consumers expect shower glass that remains transparent over time and is easy to maintain. At the same time, installers and fabricators face increasing pressure to provide solutions that minimise chemical usage, aligning with tighter environmental regulations and the industry’s shift toward responsible practices.
Magnetron treatment
Timeless is manufactured using Saint-Gobain Glass magnetron coating technology, an advanced industrial process that deposits a highly resistant metal oxide layer onto the glass surface. This coating provides robust protection against the corrosive effects of water exposure, preventing the unsightly white veiling commonly seen as glass ages.
According to Saint-Gobain, the result is a glass that maintains its clarity and neutral appearance over the long term, offering a high-quality solution that stands up to daily use in humid environments like showers.
Saint-Gobain Glass is so confident in the glass anti-corrosion performance that it is guaranteed for ten years.
