Pilkington Activ™ Blue

Amazing glass that cleans itself!

This attractive blue glass combines dual-action, self-cleaning properties with solar control performance for a cooler internal environment. Pilkington Activ^TM Blue is a revolutionary glass that is  perfect for use in conservatories. It uses daylight and rainwater to breakdown and wash away organic dirt from exterior surfaces, making it ideal for hard to reach places that are difficult to clean. Its unique blue colour also helps keep internal temperatures cool whilst still maintaining excellent light transmittance.

For optimum self-cleaning and thermal performance, combine PilkingtonActiv^TM Blue with Pilkington K Glass^TM or Pilkington Optitherm^TM S4 in an Insulating Glass Unit.
