Cleaning up
23rd January 2018

PILKINGTON United Kingdom Limited, has passed 10 million square metres of its self-cleaning glass product Pilkington Activ, said to be the world’s first self-cleaning glass product, since it was launched in 2002.

Kevin Sanderson, head of innovation at the NSG Group, of which the company is a part, said: “When we launched self-cleaning glass it represented a key innovation in the sector, and we’ve continued to invest in and develop the range to ensure it remains best in class. For example, we launched Pilkington Activ SunShade in 2013, which has superior solar control properties to help reduce heat gain and help maintain a comfortable climate in homes and other buildings.

“Shipping 10 million square metres of self-cleaning glass, the size of around 1,400 football pitches, is a huge milestone for the Pilkington Activ product family. We’re hoping for the same success for our future innovations.”
