Bathroom Coating for Cleaner Bathrooms

Bathroom coatings are not a new phenomenon as they have been around for many years. However, it is only recently that its true benefits are starting to be noticed. Much of the reasoning behind this is due to their improvement in performance transforming from varnish-like silicon products to today's hydrophobic layers, engineered at molecular level. Applying coating to your bathroom will not only ensure that you are protected from lime scale, but also other particles.

One of the advantages to using coating, is that they prevent build up of lime or dirt and therefore does not require chemical cleaning products to keep the surfaces clean. Furthermore, most manufacturers actively advise against using chemical cleaners as they damage the surface.

Other bathroom surfaces are hydrophilic. This essentially means that lime and other deposits can sit in the microscopic hollows on the surface. Over a period of time these build up and create a corrosive process that causes damage at molecular level. This is why using coatings is more practical. The coatings have what you may call a 'repellent-factor'. This keep lime, dirt and all sorts of other particles to build up.

What is the difference?

It has been reported  that around 46 million every year is spent specifically on bathroom cleaners. In addition,   another 117 million on liquid bleach and disinfectants and 14 million on limescale removers. These are staggering  figures, and ones that should be taken seriously. If we started using even a proportion of these on coatings instead, think of the impact we could have on the environment.  

The impact on the environment

Quite simply, the idea is that by using protective coating in your bathroom, you will not need to use chemical cleaning products. This is turn ensures that harmful chemicals will not be released into the environment due to domestic cleaning.

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.

Coating is not just in the interest of general consumers. If this idea is expanded in the business world, then this could prove to have a bigger and more positive impact on the environment.
