Pilkington Activ™ Neutral

Overview

Pilkington Activ™ Neutral is the attractive neutral coloured glass that combines dual action, self-cleaning properties with solar control performance for a cooler internal environment. Specially designed for conservatories and large glazed areas, Pilkington Activ™ Neutral is a revolutionary new glass that is perfect for use in both the roof and verticals. It uses daylight and rainwater to breakdown and wash away organic dirt from exterior surfaces, making it ideal for hard to clean areas and giving you a year round clearer view of your garden when used in conservatory verticals. Its unique solar control coating also helps keep internal temperatures cool whilst still maintaining excellent, neutral light transmittance. For optimum self-cleaning and thermal performance, combine Pilkington Activ™ Neutral with Pilkington K Glass™ or Pilkington Optitherm™ S4 in an Insulating Glass Unit.
