What Is Brillo Vetro?
Jan 2026
When designing a modern bathroom, glass clarity and ease of maintenance are just as important as aesthetics. That’s where Brillo Vetro comes in.
Brillo Vetro is a hydrophobic glass coating applied to Tissino shower screens, including the Tavo glass collection. Designed to improve both performance and longevity, this advanced coating helps protect the glass from water, soap residue and everyday build-up, keeping the shower glass looking cleaner for longer.
What Is Brillo Vetro?
Brillo Vetro is a specialist surface treatment applied during the manufacturing process. Once bonded to the glass, it creates an invisible protective layer that actively repels water, dirt and soap deposits.
Unlike untreated shower glass, which allows water and minerals to cling to the surface, Brillo Vetro causes water to bead and run off more easily. This reduces the likelihood of streaks, limescale marks and residue forming over time.
How Does Brillo Vetro Work?
The coating works by altering the surface tension of the glass.
On untreated glass:
- Water spreads across the surface
- Soap and minerals cling to the glass
- Residue builds up quickly
With Brillo Vetro:
- Water forms droplets and runs off
- Soap residue is less likely to stick
- Dirt and minerals are easier to remove during cleaning
The result is shower glass that requires less effort to maintain and retains its clarity for longer.
The Benefits of Brillo Vetro Shower Glass
/ Easier Cleaning - Brillo Vetro significantly reduces the amount of cleaning required. With fewer deposits sticking to the surface, regular wiping is quicker and more effective.
/ Improved Glass Clarity - By preventing water marks and soap build-up, the coating helps maintain a clear, bright finish, allowing light to flow freely through the bathroom.
/ Long-Lasting Appearance - With regular cleaning, Brillo Vetro helps Tissino shower glass look newer for longer, reducing the dull or cloudy appearance that can develop on untreated glass.
/ Enhanced Everyday Performance - The coating supports a more hygienic shower environment by minimising residue build-up and simplifying routine maintenance.
Is Brillo Vetro Suitable for Everyday Use?
Yes. Brillo Vetro is designed for daily showering and long-term use. While no glass coating eliminates the need for cleaning entirely, Brillo Vetro makes maintenance significantly easier when compared to standard shower glass.
For best results, we recommend:
- Regular rinsing after use
- Occasional wiping with a soft cloth
- Avoiding abrasive cleaners
Why Brillo Vetro Matters in Modern Bathroom Design
As bathrooms move towards minimal detailing, walk-in showers and large glass panels, maintaining clarity becomes increasingly important. Brillo Vetro supports these design trends by ensuring the glass remains a feature, not a maintenance challenge.
Combined with toughened safety glass and refined hardware, Brillo Vetro enhances both the visual appeal and functionality of Tissino shower screens.
Brillo Vetro and Tissino Collections
Brillo Vetro is used across the Tissino’s shower glass ranges, including Tavo collection, Armano Roller collection, Messina Bath screens and Rivelo enclosures and doors. The coating ensures that the glass performs as well as it looks, even in high-use environments.
