Pilkington Activ™ is effectively the same as conventional glass but with a specially developed coating on the outside that has a unique dual action.
Once exposed to daylight, the coating chemically reacts in two ways. Firstly, it breaks down any ‘organic’ dirt deposits, such as bird droppings and tree sap and secondly, rainwater ‘sheets’ down the glass to wash the loosened dirt away.
