EnduroShield for glass - a clear choice for architects on Chatswood CTI Project
EnduroShield® For Glass permanent protective coating has been applied
to all of the overhead glass awnings on the NSW State Government's current Chatswood
Transport Interchange Project at Chatswood railway station.
Specified by award-winning architects and urban designers, Cox Richardson/Design Inc,
the coating was professionally applied by Origen Australia. To be completed over a
period of 18 months, the coating is applied immediately following the installation of
each of the awnings.
The glazed roof structures will extend the retail capacity whilst providing a visible
and attractive linkage to either side of the station. The awnings will provide natural
light and protection to the commuter concourses and newly created retail space whilst
assisting in enhancing existing connections to buildings surrounding the interchange.
With extensive glass awnings totalling over 2000sqm, EnduroShield® for Glass was specified
on the $360 million project because of its permanence and easy-clean properties. Varying
in size from 32sqm to 500sqm the glass awnings are constantly exposed to weathering,
pollution and break dust from the train system below.
EnduroShield® For Glass protects the glazed surfaces by sealing the porosity of the glass,
protecting against staining, etching and the general deterioration caused by weather and
pollution. The life of the awnings will be extended whilst the environmental impact is
minimised with reduction in both water and chemical usage.
EnduroShield® is ideal for all commercial glass surfaces, particularly awnings and other
large facades which are difficult and expensive to maintain. The coating will reduce
maintenance costs by minimising time spent cleaning as well as extending the period
between cleans. Overall, the appearance of the interchange will benefit, with the
feature glass awnings remaining cleaner for longer.
EnduroShield® is available for all glass, stainless steel, tile, grout and ceramic
surfaces. The permanent protective coating uses state of the art nanotechnology and
is only two molecules thick. The invisible coating seals the surface causing contaminants
to remain on top of the coating which makes them easy to remove and prevents corrosion.
EnduroShield® can be applied in factory to the surface before installation or in situ
by professional applicators. The product is a clear liquid that is sprayed on, and
polished into the surface, creating a permanent bond.
