The unique dual-action of the Pilkington Activ™ coating uses the forces of nature to help keep the glass free from dirt, giving not only the practical benefit of less cleaning, but also clearer, better-looking windows.

Available in both Blue and Neutral colours it creates a cool and comfortable environment all year round. Reduces solar heat gain and offers high levels of natural light to provide comfortable and pleasant environments in which to live and work.

Typically the Blue is used in the roof and the Neutral in the verticals of a conservatory giving you a year-round clearer view of your garden. Its unique solar control coating also helps keep internal temperatures cool whilst still maintaining excellent light transmittance.

This update contains information which is designed to provide you with up to date information about the technical aspects of Pilkington ActivTM, in particular glazing materials that are compatible with the product.

The Pilkington Activ™ Range of products combines both self-cleaning and solar control properties, helping to keep the glass cleaner and clearer. The ideal glass solution for conservatories and orangeries.

Pilkington Activ™ Blue and Pilkington Activ SunShade™ Neutral were designed with conservatories in mind and are the perfect self-cleaning and solar control solutions for glass roofs.

Reduces the need for cleaning exterior glazing through a dual-action coating. It uses daylight and rain to break down and wash away organic dirt. Pilkington made a significant step in the glass industry with the development of Pilkington Activ™, the first dual-action self-cleaning glass.

Installing self-cleaning glass combined with solar-control glass in the form of Pilkington Activ™ Blue or Neutral, can reduce the need for air conditioning and heating costs can be reduced by using a low-e glass such as Pilkington K Glass™ as the inner pane of the insulating glass unit.
