Specially designed for conservatories and large glazed areas, Pilkington Activ SunShade™ is perfect for use in both the roof and verticals. It uses daylight and rainwater to break down and wash away organic dirt from exterior surfaces, making it ideal for hard-to-clean areas. Typically the Blue is used in the roof and the Neutral in the verticals of a conservatory giving you a year-round clearer view of your garden. Its unique solar control coating also helps keep internal temperatures cool whilst still maintaining excellent light transmittance.
For optimum thermal performance, combine Pilkington Activ SunShade™ with a product from the Pilkington K Glass™ or Pilkington Optitherm™ Ranges in an Insulating Glass Unit (IGU).
A revolutionary photo-catalytic and hydrophilic coating that works in two stages.
The unique dual-action self-cleaning coating is located on the external glass pane. It has got photo-catalytic and hydrophilic properties, and works in two stages:
Stage 1 - The coating reacts with natural daylight to break down and loosen organic dirt.
Stage 2 - When it rains, instead of forming droplets, the water spreads evenly over the surface of the glass, forming a thin film and helping to wash away any dirt and reduce streaks.
During long dry spells the glass can be cleaned by simply hosing it down with clean water.
