Walker Glass offers PPG's Clarvista

Walker Glass Co., Montreal, now etches the corrosion-resistant glass Clarvista made by PPG Industries, Pittsburgh, according to a March 21 release. The product will be offered in the Walker Textures Satin finish, the most translucent finish available. This finish is perfect for shower enclosure applications, as it provides a measure of privacy while giving enough clarity to highlight tile work behind the glass.

“The combination of our acid-etched finish with PPG’s corrosion-resistance coating offers the shower enclosure market something different," says Ross Christie, vice president sales & marketing, walker Glass, in the release. "The results obtained after extensive corrosion resistance testing by PPG on the Clarvista shows us this is a quality product. It’s a great addition to the Walker Textures product offering.”

The etched Clarvista will be available in 10-millimeter thickness using the Satin finish on clear and Starphire glass substrates in size of 96  inches by 130 inches. Samples (12-inch-by-12-inch) are available, on demand.
