Self Cleaning Glass
By Pilkington, as seen on TV......and yes it REALLY works!
Long described as an impossible dream, self-cleaning glass is now a reality. After years of research and development leading glass manufacturer Pilkington has introduced the Pilkington ActivTM range of products. The range has products which combine both self-cleaning and solar control properties, making them highly desirable amongst homeowners looking for the ultimate in glass solutions.
A must for conservatories, skylights, glass doors and windows; self-cleaning glass is revolutionising the way homeowners feel about glass in their homes. Pilkington ActivTM Clear's unique dual-action coating uses the forces of nature to help keep the glass clear of organic dirt, giving you not only the practical benefit of less cleaning, but also clearer, better-looking windows.
Using a "photocatalytic" process, the coating on Pilkington ActivTM Clear reacts with ultra-violet rays present in natural daylight to break down and disintegrate organic dirt. The second stage occurs when rainwater hits the glass. Pilkington ActivTM Clear is "hydrophilic" which means that instead of forming droplets, the water spreads evenly over the surface and as it runs off takes the dirt with it. Compared with conventional glass, the water also dries off very quickly without leaving unsightly drying spots.
