Pilkington Activ - A True Self Cleaning Glass

Anybody in the industry we are sure will have heard about the new generation of self cleaning glasses and as part of our strategy to offer leading edge products, Clayton Glass is now ready and able for the first time to offer a true self-cleaning sealed unit to the market for 2006.

In partnership with Pilkington we have over recent months been working on the commercial and operational requirements to be able to guarantee the same levels of service, quality and value for money to our customer, and are now fully confident in this capability. These advances coincide with a major television and press campaign which started in February where ‘Activ’ was marketed for the first time to the general householder. In addition, as a key dealer we will benefit from Web based marketing activities and direct regional enquires to our own customer base.

Given the expected interest in this uniquely advanced product, we have been keen to set this infrastructure in place prior to this major marketing push. As a result we are confident that with immediate effect, self cleaning units can be manufactured and delivered in the same lead times as standard sealed units, and at the same high quality that you would expect from Clayton Glass.

Being a new and advanced product, there are a number of small issues for the fabricator / installer to note. Being a highly durable coating there are no special handling requirements for the glass but a registration process is required to ensure the correct education process has been achieved.
