Cleaning Skylights
Skylight cleaning isn't a pleasant job at all. They are generally rather awkwardly situated and they are not designed to support much weight, especially not the weight of the person trying to clean the skylight. The cleaning of skylights is often what puts so many people off installing this type of window. But there are so many benefits that cleaning skylights should not be the reason that you miss out. And luckily, thanks to the Pilkington Activ™ range of glass products, you don't have to!
Your Skylight Cleaning Days Are Over!
You can make cleaning skylights easy simply by fitting Pilkington Activ™ Self-Cleaning Glass into skylight frames. Self-cleaning glass is a specially coated glass that takes the hard work out of skylight cleaning.
The glass coating has photocatalytic and hydrophilic properties which perform two functions. The UV light in daylight reacts with the photocatalytic coating to break down organic dirt such as dust and tree sap. Then, the second, hydrophilic part of the process causes water to sheet off - so when it rains, the water washes the dirt away without leaving any streaks or water marks. You could also spray your skylights with the hose to keep them clean at any time of the year. This takes all the ladders and hard work out of cleaning skylights and allows anyone to enjoy the benefits of these windows.
