Bathroom coatings have been on the market for many years, however its true benefits are only starting to be appreciated now. They have certainly improved in their performance, transforming from varnish-like silicon products to today's hydrophobic layers, engineered at molecular level. If you apply coating to your bathroom now, you can be assured that you will be protected from limescale, soap scum and other dirt particles.
One of the reasons why people invest in coating their bathroom is the fact that coating helps to prevent build up of lime or dirt. Thus there is less need for chemical cleaning products to keep the surfaces clean. In fact, most manufacturers actively advise against using chemical cleaners as they damage the surface.
So how do coated surfaces compare to other bathroom surfaces? Other bathroom surfaces are hydrophilic. This allows or lime and other sorts of particles to build up and sit on the surface. If neglected over a period of time, these can create a corrosive process that can cause damage at molecular level. You will not have this problem with coatings as they act to repel these particles. The coatings act to keep lime and other particles from building up.
How much difference is there?
An investigation carried out reported that around 46 million every year is spent specifically on bathroom cleaners, plus another 117 million on liquid bleach and disinfectants and 14 million on limescale removers. These staggering figures show that great action needs to be taken in order to change this as it is impacting greatly on the environment. If the direction of this expenditure can change even a little to spending it on bathroom coatings, then we could make a significant change.
The impact on the environment
By using protective coating in your bathroom, you will be able to cut down on your costs on chemical cleaning products. This will in turn help minimise the amount of harmful chemicals being released into the environment.
Therefore, using coating will not only have a positive impact on the environment, but it will also reduce your time spent in cleaning. Your household bills will also be reduced as you will not require as many cleaning products. Most household owners when making a new purchase rarely consider the impact their decision may make on the environment. However, with increasing awareness of the environment this view is now starting to change.
It is obvious that most consumers do not prioritise how eco-friendly the product will be when making a decision. It's style, function and price are all important factors in the decision-making process. The challenge facing most manufacturers today is how to integrate the eco advantage of this product without compromising on another very important factor; price.
It is important to note that it is not only in the interests of the customer in using coatings in their bathroom. Commercial clients also have a vested interest, given their corporate social responsibility. Think how vast the impact would be on the environment if all the hotels started using coating in their bathrooms.
