The Ultimate Self-cleaning Glass
Self-cleaning clear and blue glass - a world first from Pilkington
Pilkington Activ™ is the world's first self-cleaning glass. Its basically the same as conventional glass, except for a unique dual action coating. It works in two ways: First it uses daylight to break down organic dirt (such as bird droppings) and then it uses rain to wash the dirt away.
Pilkington Activ™ also dries off faster leaving the glass clean and with reduced streaks.
Pilkington Activ™ Neutral and Pilkington Activ™ Blue combine the benefits of self-cleaning with solar control performance, making it the perfect choice for hard to reach places that are difficult to clean, which also require solar control such as conservatory roofs.
