EnduroShield Certified Applicators

EnduroShield is a revolutionary new easy-to clean coating that creates an ultra long lasting invisible shield on all glass, ceramic or porcelain tile surfaces. This Australian invented and revolutionary solution not only makes your home, business or commercial premises so much easier to clean by reducing cleaning time by about 90%, it also cuts out the use of so many harsh and toxic cleaning products.  The product also protects surfaces from water and oil, salt, grime, soap scum, and fingerprints. EnduroShield also makes surfaces more resistant to corrosion, etching and staining. 

EnduroShield will eliminate the need to use harsh (and often toxic) cleaners.  When applied by 1st Choice Fix, surfaces only need a simple wipe with a microfibre cloth and water, and sometimes a mild detergent aids to keep surfaces clean.

Windex can be used on EnduroShield, although no specialty cleaners are required, we recommend using White/Cleaning Vinegar at 25-50% along with a small amount of dishwashing liquid & water. 1st Choice Fix supplies all necessary information and a free cleaning kit for every client.

At 1st Choice Fix we pride ourselves on our honestly and reliability. EnduroShield on wet areas like glass shower screens, pool fences or hard to clean areas all benefit the most from EnduroShield.  While all glass, tiles and stainless steel will benefit from the extra protection, sometime it may not be within our clients budget. We strive to be the best and for us, honestly is the best.

EnduroShield can be applied to any glass, but if you have decided to invest in sealing older glass its best to be aware that EnduroShield only bonds permanently to glass.  Please note, if stubborn water spots remain on the surface and cannot be cleaned off, the bonding process may not be as effective.

Here at 1st Choice Fix we generally recommend that the glass is restored prior to applying EnduroShield. This removes the damage prior to sealing, then EnduroShield will correctly bond to the glass and not the minerals or damage, lasting longer and giving our customers the best results.

A regular wipe down while in the shower with a microfiber will dramatically reduce cleaning requirements. Depending on usage of the shower,  weekly-monthly clean with 25% vinegar, water and a small squirt of dishwashing liquid. Simply sprayed on the surface, allowed to sit for 5-10 minutes before wiping down with a magic eraser or microfiber and a squeegee off. If you have had EnduroShield professionally applied by 1st Choice Fix you will have a cleaning kit with all the appropriate instructions and equipment.

While glass pool fences give the impression of no barrier or an open space, they generally require some up-keep if untreated. Glass pool fences look really beautiful and can make any outdoor space more attractive.

How long will an EnduroShield coating last?

When cared for properly, EnduroShield will last for the lifetime of the glass. We provide a 10 year warranty on all new or restored to new glass. With restored glass, there is a 5 year warranty and there is also a 3 year warranty on new tiles, grout and stainless steel.

Will EnduroShield change the appearance of my glass?

Applying EnduroShield won't alter the appearance of your glass; it will maintain its original look. The only difference will be that water beads up on the glass surface after the application of EnduroShield Professional.

Absolutely! In fact a solution of 25-50% vinegar, water and a small amount of dish soap is the recommended cleaner for glass, tiles and grout treated with EnduroShield.  Stainless steel surfaces are generally is best cleaned with just dishwashing liquid and water.

Firstly, CLR is an acidic cleaner which dissolves minerals and rust from most surfaces. If you are wanting to remove minerals from a coated surface it’s best to contact the applicator to ensure there is no warranty or cleaning issues. Secondly, yes CLR has been tested for use on EnduroShield treated surfaces by EnduroShield and found to cause no damage to the coating. While CLR has its uses, in our experience, vinegar tends to be a more effective cleaning agent for certain applications.

Generally, when access permits on a building location, having EnduroShield applied after installation is the best method of professional application. Once the pool glass fence is installed, there is little to no handling or abrasion on the panels. Having your glass treated after installation by an accredited applicator like 1st Choice Fix, means the coating isn’t subjected to transit or handling issues. It also allows for specific cleaning instructions or tips for after install care with the owner, identification of potential issues, and ensures the pool fence looks great after every job.

Choosing the right material for your railing can depend on various factors. Let's take a look at some options and their pros and cons.

• Aluminium is usually the most affordable choice, but it may not look great in many settings.
• Timber is timeless and beautiful, but it can be costly to maintain annually.
• Both steel and stainless steel are susceptible to rusting or tarnishing over time, which might lessen their visual attractiveness.
• Glass is very attractive, as it doesn't obstruct the view, but it does need to be cleaned regularly.
• Powder-coated panels can look amazing and last a long time, but they do require yearly cleaning and may take away from the view.

In our opinion, glass or powder-coated panels are the best choices. Glass is our favorite, as our customers have found that sealing it with EnduroShield reduces the cleaning needs. Nonetheless, if maintaining an unobstructed view isn't a top priority, powder-coated panels can be an excellent alternative.

Once applied appropriately, removing EnduroShield can be quite challenging. If you’re wanting it removed, abrasion is generally the safest method. Here at 1st Choice Fix we regularly remove and reapply EnduroShield for clients who want to keep their glass or other surfaces within a warranty period, or where a DIY application has gone wrong.
