TPA AND TIMELESS®: VISMARAVETRO'S SOLUTIONS FOR AN ALWAYS-CLEAN SHOWER ENCLOSURE

Innovation and design come together in the Vismaravetro shower enclosure, thanks to two cutting-edge technologies: TPA treatment and Timeless® glass. Discover how these solutions make cleaning easier and keep your bathroom looking beautiful for longer.

Keeping your shower enclosure clean and sparkling is a common aim. Limescale buildup, however, can pose a challenge. Vismaravetro offers two innovative solutions to simplify shower enclosure cleaning and keep it looking beautiful: the TPA treatment and Timeless® glass (new for 2025). Both technologies aim to prevent limescale buildup and keep the glass sparkling, but with different features and applications.

TPA (Preventive Anti-Limescale Treatment): versatile nano-technology protection

Vismaravetro’s Preventive Anti-Limescale Treatment (TPA) is a solution designed to make cleaning shower enclosures quick and easy. This treatment is applied to the glass, creating a protective barrier against limescale and dirt. Thanks to TPA, water runs off more easily, taking any impurities with it and reducing the formation of marks and buildup. This means that cleaning the shower enclosure requires nothing more than a soft cloth and some water, without the need for aggressive products that could damage the treatment.

TPA is suitable for all types of Vismaravetro glass, including decorated and frosted, and will not alter its appearance. The treatment is long-lasting and can be repeated if necessary. In addition, a practical Virgola squeegee is included as a free gift with the purchase of a shower enclosure with TPA technology.

Timeless® Glass: lasting clarity and shine

Vismaravetro Timeless® glass, available in the finishes from this year, is a special type of glass for shower enclosures that retains its beauty and transparency over time, while making cleaning easier. It is designed to resist limescale and soap residue, preventing the clouding typical of standard glass. As a result, Timeless® stays clear and brilliant with minimal effort. It is characterised by exceptional clarity and a subtle blue tint. It is only available in a clear version, ideal for those seeking maximum brightness. Cleaning requires only a soft cloth and water, but it can also tolerate non-abrasive limescale removers.

Useful tips for maintenance and choice

After describing the two solutions, here are some practical tips for maintenance and for choosing the right treatment:

Drying after use: Regardless of the treatment chosen (TPA or Timeless®), drying the shower enclosure with a soft cloth or a squeegee after every use helps prevent the formation of limescale and keep the glass sparkling.

Regular cleaning: Regular cleaning with water and a soft cloth is enough for ordinary maintenance of both types of glass.

Choosing the right cleaning product:

TPA: We recommend avoiding the use of aggressive or abrasive cleaning products, limescale removers containing silicone or acid-based cleaners (such as Viakal or aggressive products), which could damage the treatment.

Timeless®: Although tolerant of non-abrasive limescale removers, we recommend using water and a soft cloth to best preserve its features. Avoid the use of abrasive products or sponges.

Water hardness: Water hardness can affect the formation of limescale. In areas with very hard water, more frequent maintenance may be required, even with TPA or Timeless®.
