Considering glass protection?
If your considering glass protection, why should you consider using Clearshield over other glass protection products available?
The reason's are;
- ClearShield's UK Manufacturer, Ritect International, is the Global market leader and has been in operation for 37 years, so ClearShield has been tried, tested and proven in many glass applications around the World and in NZ.
- ClearShield is a polymer resin, so chemically links to the glass which is unlike it's competitors which supply a coating. Unfortunately some coatings fade or crack over time.
- Because ClearShield is a polymer resin it is non hazardous & non flammable, which is unlike some of its competitors who supply a Silicon based product. If you haven't heard, silicon is listed after asbestos as substances contributing to workplace airborne diseases.
- To recondition & protect glass with ClearShield is upto a seven step process dependant on the condition of the glass. The ClearShield Eco system is built to last, not a short term fix like some products out there.
- All glass protection still requires the glass to be cleaned to retain glass clarity of new glass. For me personally this amounts to approx 5 minutes/week for my shower with a cleaning cost of approx $23/annum. If you follow the maintenance requirements ie 5 minutes/week, glass clarity for new glass will be a minimum of 10 years and restored shower glass 4 years.
- look at glass restoration before replacement to reduce your refurbishment costs.
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
