Pilkington Activ™ Still Cleaning Up

Pilkington Activ™, the revolutionary self-cleaning glass launched last year, has grown from strength to strength with specifiers recognising it as the perfect choice for reducing cleaning and maintenance costs on residential and commercial applications alike.

Pilkington Activ™ is effectively the same as a conventional glass but features a unique life long coating that has a unique dual action.

Firstly, using daylight, it breaks down any 'organic' dirt deposits on the surface of the glass, such as bird droppings or tree sap. Secondly, when it rains the rainwater 'sheets' down the glass surface to wash the loosened dirt particles away, ensuring that even the most inaccessible glass stays clean. Bright sunlight is not necessary for the glass to function, it works even on cloudy days and even during the night.

With its pioneering technology, Pilkington Activ™ has proved itself to be ideal for applications where cleaning would normally be difficult or costly, for example high rise buildings, conservatories and roof lights, or where good visibility is important such as sports stadia or external walkways.

Pilkington has launched a new Commercial Brochure supporting Pilkington Activ™, containing all the information needed to specify the glass, including information on its use in combination with other Pilkington products, for example energy management or fire glass products. The brochure also contains details of design and full performance data of the glass.

To give specifiers a better picture of the pioneering product in use, the brochure also features a range of real life applications showing the product in situ in leisure, residential, education and hotel buildings.
