How long does liquid glass last?

Answered by Robert Dupre

Liquid glass coatings typically last between 9 months and 2 years, depending on where they are applied and the level of abrasion the surface is exposed to. While there are some coatings available that can last up to 25 years, these are the exception rather than the norm.

It is important to note that liquid glass coatings are not permanent solutions. Over time, they will wear off and need to be reapplied. The duration of the coating’s lifespan is influenced by various factors such as the type of surface it is applied to, the environmental conditions it is exposed to, and the level of wear and tear it receives.

Different surfaces will have different levels of abrasion and exposure to external elements. For example, a liquid glass coating applied to a car’s exterior may be subjected to frequent washing, exposure to sunlight, and potential contact with debris and chemicals on the road. All of these factors can contribute to the gradual degradation of the coating.

Similarly, a liquid glass coating on a kitchen countertop may be exposed to constant cleaning, heat, and potential contact with acidic substances. These factors can also affect the lifespan of the coating.

It is worth mentioning that liquid glass coatings can provide effective protection during their lifespan. They create a durable and transparent barrier that can enhance the surface’s resistance to scratches, stains, and other forms of damage. They can also make surfaces easier to clean and maintain.

Personal experiences with liquid glass coatings may vary, depending on the specific product used and the conditions in which it is applied. It is always advisable to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application and maintenance to ensure the best possible results.

While some liquid glass coatings can last for up to 25 years, the majority will last between 9 months and 2 years. Factors such as the type of surface and the level of abrasion and exposure to external elements will influence the lifespan of the coating. Regular reapplication may be necessary to maintain optimal protection and performance.
