Long described as an impossible dream, self-cleaning glass is now a reality, for use in your home. After years of research and development leading glass manufacturer Pilkington has introduced the Pilkington Activ ™ range of products.

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.

Self-cleaning glass is exactly as the name suggests - glass that keeps itself clean. It uses an organic process whereby dirt is broken down by daylight and is then washed away by rain. Long described as an impossible dream, self-cleaning glass is now a reality.

Pilkington Activ™ Clear is the original self-cleaning glass with advanced dual-action for superior results. It now forms part of the Pilkington Activ™ Range that also offers self-cleaning glass combined with solar control properties.

Pilkington Activ™ Blue is an attractive blue glass that combines dual-action, self-cleaning properties with medium solar control performance helping to create a cooler internal environment which can be used all year round.

If the thought of spending endless hours cleaning windows puts you off building a new conservatory or installing skylights then self-cleaning glass is precisely what you need. View this demonstration video to gain a better understanding of how self-cleaning glass works with the forces of nature to keep your glass cleaner.

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.

Pilkington Activ SunShade™ combines dual action, self-cleaning properties with medium solar control performance and an aesthetically pleasing appearance to reduce the amount of direct sunlight that penetrates into a building. Available in both Blue and Neutral colours it creates a cool and comfortable environment all year round.

You may not realise it but simply replacing your plastic conservatory roof with a new glass roof, incorporating Pilkington Activ™ Self-cleaning glass, will have a tremendous effect on the way your conservatory looks, feels and sounds.
