Now there's a revolutionary new kind of glass that actually uses the power of the sun to clean itself ... Pilkington Activ™ Self-Cleaning Glass.

Imagine, clean windows naturally! How does Pilkington Activ™ Self-Cleaning Glass do it? By using energy from the sun - which is abundant even on cloudy days - to keep windows clean by a two-step process:

I . A photo catalytic process gradually breaks down, loosens and dissolves dirt and other organic residue so it breaks loose from the glass.

2. A hydrophilic action causes rain to sheet on the glass, carrying dirt away with minimal spotting or streaking.

So under most conditions, natural rain is sufficient to keep your windows clean. And in dry weather, a quick squirt with the hose will achieve the same result. Either way, Pilkington Activ™ Self-Cleaning Glass dramatically reduces or eliminates window cleaning, providing crisp, clear vistas.

The advanced properties of Pilkington Activ™ Self-Cleaning Glass are integral to the glass surface not just a coating that can peel, separate or disintegrate over time, or be damaged by liquid glass cleaners.
