Pilkington Insulight Activ™


Pilkington Insulight Activ™ is the brand name for insulating glass units with Pilkington Activ™ self-cleaning coating on the external surface of the unit.

In addition to the high quality benefits that one would expect from Pilkington Insulating Glass Units, they also provides the customer with the most revolutionary and innovative self-cleaning glazing available on the market.

Features & Benefits

  • The first self-cleaning glass in the world.
  • Throughout the course of the day, even heavy dirt deposits are broken down and washed away.
  • Easily cleaned during dry spells by hosing down or using a soft cloth and warm soapy water.
  • Save energy by reducing heat loss. Assures comfort even at a low thermostat setting.
  • Reduce chilly areas and cold draughts from windows, increasing comfort and usable floor space area.
  • Raise the temperature of the internal surfaces of the panes, and by that reduce internal condensation.
  • Savings in investment costs and in the usage of heating and/or air-conditioning systems.
  • High light transmittance.
  • Enhanced heat insulation by means of argon filling.
  • Increased possibility for use of glazing in the building; the glass unit has a low Ug value as compared to other building materials.
  • Can contain other products from the Pilkington glass range to achieve other benefits.
Spectrum Calculation Program

Pilkington Spectrum is a Windows-based glass performance model which enables you to quickly and efficiently calculate key properties of insulating glass units without the need to construct and measure them. You can use Pilkington Spectrum to provide the following information:

  • Light and solar properties (transmittance, reflectance, absorptance, g value, etc.).
  • Centre pane Ug-value.
  • Sound insulation values.
  • Ultra violet (uv) transmittance and colour rendering index (Ra).
  • Other properties (e.g. pendulum body impact resistance, fire resistance, resistance to manual attack, etc.).
