Self-cleaning glass has been described as an impossible dream. Yet, following the intensive research and development by Pilkington - the world's leading glass manufacturer - Pilkington Activ does just that.

Its unique dual action uses the forces of nature to help keep the glass free from dirt, giving you not only the practical benefit of less cleaning, but also clearer, better-looking windows.

How it works: The Secret of Pilkington Activ is its special coating, which works in two stages:

Breaking down organic dirt: Firstly, the coating reacts with UV rays from natural daylight to break down and disintegrate organic dirt. Organic dirt is defined as having come from plants and animals (e.g. bird droppings or tree sap), while inorganic dirt comes from other, non-living sources (e.g. cement or plaster).

Washing dirt away: The second part of the process happens when whater hits the glass. Rain water runs down the glass to wash loosened dirt away. Inorganic dirt will only be removed by water. Compared with conventional glass, the water dries quickly, without leaving streaks or marks
