C.R. Laurence Co. unveils shower display with CLARVISTA glass by PPG

New product introduced at Kitchen & Bath Industry Show



PITTSBURGH, May 31, 2011 – C.R. Laurence Co. unveiled a new shower door display featuring CLARVISTA(TM) glass by PPG Industries (NYSE:PPG) at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas, April 26-28.

Clarvista shower glass is an innovative glass by PPG for shower doors and bath and shower enclosures that, with regular maintenance, looks newer longer than other shower glass products. The glass is made with a coating that seals the glass surface, enabling it to resist corrosion caused by heat, humidity, soap and household cleaning products.

 

Clarvista glass is available with Starphire ultra-clear or conventional clear glass. When combined with Starphire glass by PPG, Clarvista glass is the most transparent shower glass in the industry, which makes it ideal for upscale homes, resorts and commercial spas.
