OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
External cleaning and maintenance has been simplified by the abundance of glass cleaning agents on the market. However these glass cleaning agents still require sufficient elbow grease to get your rooflight looking great and you cannot even begin to rival the ease and effectiveness of self-cleaning glass, after years of development.
THE GLASS
The glass we supply uses a microscopic coating with a unique dual-action.
The first stage of the cleaning process is “photocatalytic”. In this stage the coating react with daylight to break down organic dirt.
The second stage is “hydrophilic”. Here, instead of forming droplets, rainwater hits the glass and spreads evenly, running off in a sheet and taking the loosened dirt with it, also drying quickly without leaving streaks.
Manual cleaning will still be required, especially if trees or traffic is close by, but you can rest assured that the glass will clean much more easily than normal glass.
After installation the special coating needs 5-7 working days to fully activate.
