Guardian Industries partners with Sapa Fabricated Products to expand

ShowerGuard is an innovative glass that is easier to clean than standard glass and maintains its original, like-new appearance over time.



Guardian is a global glass manufacturer engaged in the innovation, design and manufacture of various glass products, including shower glass products sold under the ShowerGuard® trademark. Sapa Fabricated Products is the industry leader in bath enclosure systems (which are sold under the Alumax Bath Enclosures brand), and has its own network of registered and certified Alumax dealers. Alumax has been one of the world’s leading bath enclosure and shower door manufacturers since 1949.



Guardian ShowerGuard was introduced to the marketplace in 2006 as the first temperable, permanently protected shower glass. The surface of the glass— which is sealed through a patented ion beam process during manufacturing— resists the corrosion and discoloration caused by constant exposure to heat, humidity, hard water, soaps and harsh cleaners.



“We believe ShowerGuard is the ideal product for Sapa Fabricated Products given Sapa’s standard in the market for quality and its commitment to total customer satisfaction,” said Patricia Kennedy, Guardian’s director of interior

glass programs.



“Guardian’s ShowerGuard is a leap forward in shower glass technology. Adding this to our product line will be a great advantage for our dealers and a great benefit for our customers,” said Steve Atkinson, Bath Enclosure manager for Sapa Fabricated Products.
