NSG Group made a significant step in the glass industry with the development of Pilkington Activ™, the first dual-action self-cleaning glass.
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.
Self-cleaning glass is exactly as the name suggests - glass that keeps itself clean. It uses a photocatalytic process whereby organic 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. After years of research and development NSG Group introduced the Pilkington Activ™ range of products - the world's first self-cleaning glass.
The range is environmentally friendly and very easy to maintain. It has products which combine both self-cleaning and solar control properties, making them highly desirable amongst home-owners looking for the ultimate in glass solutions.
