Homeowners spend up to a total of 11.9 million hours a year cleaning windows, so Pilkington the global leader in glass manufacturing has come to their aid, by launching the amazing Activ™, the world’s first Self-Cleaning Glass!
Since glass is such a major feature of any house and conservatory, it can be very laborious and time-consuming to keep all the panes of glass clean; also the conservatory glass roofs need regular cleaning and can prove difficult to reach from a standard stepladder or upstairs window.
Â
Now the environmentally friendly Pilkington Activâ„¢ self-cleaning glass, which works with the weather to keep itself clean, can enable us to keep our windows sparkling, effortlessly and without the need for a costly regular window cleaner.
The unique new Pilkington Activâ„¢ self-cleaning glass employs a virtually invisible coating on the glass surface that reacts with Ultra Violet rays, to break down and loosen organic dirt (e.g. fingerprints, bird droppings, pollution deposits or tree resin).
Â
The coating is also hydrophilic, which means it attracts rainwater so that when it rains, the water flows down the glass in an even ‘sheeting’ motion effectively washing away the remaining dirt.
Pilkington Activâ„¢ self-cleaning glass is available now, through all good suppliers in the UK.
