Pilkington Activ is effectively the same as conventional glass but with a specially developed coating on the outside that has a unique dual action. Once exposed to daylight, the coating chemically reacts in two ways.

Firstly, it breaks down any ‘organic’ dirt deposits - such as bird droppings and tree sap - and secondly, rainwater ‘sheets’ down the glass to wash the loosened dirt away.

Self-cleaning glass has long been seen as an impossible dream. However, as you’d expect with any new product from Pilkington, it has been extensively developed and tested over a number of years to make absolutely sure that the product really works.

Self-cleaning windows should take about five to seven days to activate itself following installation, after which it works continually with dirt being washed away whenever it rains.
