One of the nicest aspects of having a conservatory as a part of your home is the glass. Aesthetically appealing, glass is what allows the outdoors into your home and distinguishes your conservatory from the usual brick and mortar extensions that so many people add to their properties.
While to many, it may seem like there are more important aspects to the planning of your conservatory than the type of glass that you choose to install, they are mistaken. Indeed, the glass type that you select is integral to the future usefulness of your conservatory, as well as to the amount of hassle that your conservatory is likely to cause you. Without the appropriate glass type, conservatories are not only almost impossible to keep clean, but they are also expensive to heat in the winter months and to keep cool in the summer months.

Pilkington Activ is an innovative concept that takes the hassle out of keeping your conservatory glass clean. Solely reliant on the natural elements, this self-cleaning glass has a special coating that interacts with sunlight to break down organic dirt. When it rains, the dirt is washed from off the glass. Because of its quick drying-nature, the glass is not left streaky and unsightly, but is clean and shiny with minimal input from you.

While this solves the problem of keeping your conservatory clean, it does not aid in the temperature control. It is for this reason that Pilkington have developed Pilkington Activ Blue and Neutral - self-cleaning glass that displays solar control properties.
These products ensure that your conservatory stays cooler in the summer months. In addition, for conservatories in cooler areas or those that don't get a lot of direct sunlight, you can combine the self-cleaning glass with a Pilkington thermal glass product.

The time and energy that goes into keeping windows looking great has encouraged many home owners to make the change to self-cleaning glass. Whether you employ a window cleaning service or you spend hours cleaning them yourself could save a huge amount of time, energy and money.

You could also save on the cost it would take you to help keep your conservatory cool by installing solar control glass in the form of Pilkington Activ Blue or Neutral. You can also save on heating costs by combining Pilkington Activ with Pilkington K Glass or Pilkington Optitherm SN in an insulating glass unit.

All that's needed to ensure that self-cleaning and solar control glass performs at its peak are the natural forces of sunlight and rain (or, in dry spells, a garden hose). Besides giving you cleaner glass, Pilkington Activ is better for the environment as there is no need to use detergent. So you're doing your bit as well as keeping your home looking good.

According to research, the chore homeowners most detest is cleaning windows. Not only is it time consuming but balancing on a flimsy ladder with a bucket of soapy water in one hand and a cloth in the other can be a rather dangerous exercise as well. Less frequent access to windows is needed when using low maintenance glass like those in the Pilkington Activ range.

Glass technology allows us to combine different products with different features like thermal insulation, safety, solar and noise control. Pilkington Activ not only brings you a fantastic low maintenance glass cleaning method but also allows you to combine various products for the ultimate in glass solutions.

Having been in the glass industry for over 180 years, Pilkington is recognised as the world's technological leader in glass. Rest assured that no one can keep your glass cleaner or performing at peak condition for longer. Of all its glass innovations, Pilkington Activ - the world's first dual action self-cleaning glass - is acknowledged as one of its greatest and is ideal for use in homes, businesses and public buildings around the world.
