pilkington self cleaning glass

Now available with the Harbor Window™ is 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 UV energy from the sun - which is abundant even on cloudy days - to keep windows clean by a two-step process:

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

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

Rain beads on ordinary glass, causing it to dry with spots and streaks, but, because of its special sheeting action, the window with Pilkington Activ™ Self-Cleaning Glass dries clear and clean

Product Features

  • SELF-CLEANING PROPERTIES virtually eliminate the need for window washing. In dry weather just a quick squirt of the hose will do.

  • NEVER NEEDS RE-TREATING, because the pyrolytic self-cleaning surface is an inherent part of the glass, not a coating that washes away.

  • ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY, in its application, installation and use, and requiring less cleaning, no chemical cleaners and less detergent.

  • DURABLE PYROLYTIC SURFACE minimizes rubs and scratches. Plus it won't peel, discolor or wear off, ensuring long-term self-cleaning performance.

  • COLOR NEUTRAL for compatibility with all home styles and an unspoiled exterior aesthetic.

  • IDEAL FOR new construction, replacement and renovation applications.
