Factory-Applied Shower Glass Protection for a Landmark Condominium Tower
ONE St. Petersburg is a landmark luxury condominium tower in Florida’s greater Tampa Bay region, positioned in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg with waterfront views and premium residential amenities.
With most residences selling for over $1 million, the project required a bathroom glass solution that matched the standard expected in a high-end residential development. Long-term clarity, easier maintenance and consistent finish quality were key considerations across the shower glass package.
EnduroShield was specified for factory-applied shower glass protection across nearly 500 shower doors, covering more than 65,000 ft² / 6,000 m² of glass. The project included both clear and acid-etched shower glass, requiring a scalable protective coating solution suitable for large luxury residential developments.
The Challenge: Maintaining Shower Glass in a Humid Coastal Environment
Luxury condominium bathrooms need to maintain a clean, premium appearance over time. In humid coastal regions such as Florida, shower glass is exposed to water, minerals, soap residue, humidity and regular cleaning cycles.
- For ONE St. Petersburg, the key project considerations included:
- Protecting nearly 500 shower doors across a large luxury condominium tower
- Treating over 65,000 ft² / 6,000 m² of shower glass
- Supporting both clear and acid-etched glass finishes
- Helping reduce staining, buildup and cleaning difficulty
- Preserving the premium look expected in high-value residences
- Ensuring consistent coating quality before installation
- Supporting long-term bathroom glass maintenance in a coastal environment
In large residential developments, shower glass performance matters at scale. A protective coating helps support a more consistent resident experience while reducing long-term maintenance pressure.
The Solution: Factory-Applied Shower Glass Protection
EnduroShield was applied at the factory by Millet Industria in Mexico for Infinity Glass Hardware. This approach allowed the coating to be applied consistently before the glass was delivered for installation.
Factory application is valuable for large-scale residential developments because it supports quality control, repeatability and efficient treatment across a high volume of glass panels.
EnduroShield creates an invisible, easy-clean protective coating that helps reduce the ability of water, minerals, soap residue and contaminants to bond to the glass surface. This makes shower glass easier to clean and helps maintain long-term clarity.
Key functions of the coating include:
- Helping repel water and mineral deposits
- Reducing soap residue and bathroom buildup
- Supporting easier cleaning of clear and acid-etched shower glass
- Helping protect against staining and etching
- Maintaining the appearance of premium bathroom glass
- Supporting factory-controlled coating consistency
- Helping reduce long-term cleaning difficulty across hundreds of bathrooms
Supporting Large-Scale Luxury Residential Development
ONE St. Petersburg demonstrates how shower glass protection can be integrated into large residential projects before installation.
With nearly 500 shower doors treated, consistency was essential. The factory-applied process helped ensure the glass received protective treatment before reaching site, supporting both installation efficiency and long-term performance.
The project was followed by its sister project, StAire, further demonstrating EnduroShield’s role in premium condominium developments across Florida.
Infinity Glass Hardware has completed at least five additional major shower glass projects in Florida, reinforcing the value of EnduroShield for high-end residential bathroom glass applications.
