Self Cleaning Glass
Let nature service your windows
Self Cleaning Glass harnesses the sun’s UV rays to loosen dirt so water can rinse it away, leaving windows virtually spotless. Your windows will stay cleaner longer and will clean easier.
Homeowners and builders will enjoy the effects that a little sun, rain and self cleaning glass brings to windows. Not only that, because of the coated glazing, homes stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Clearly, self cleaning glass is the choice for your windows.

It all starts with the sun
The titanium dioxide layer of self cleaning glass reacts chemically with the sun’s UV rays and causes organic materials that are on the glass to decompose. It works even on cloudy days, as 80% of UV radiation gets through cloud cover. Thus when it rains, the decomposed dirt no longer clings to the glass, easily rinsing away.
Smoother glass is cleaner glass
And self cleaning glass is ultra smooth. A thin layer of silicon dioxide makes self cleaning glass exceptionally smooth and hydrophilic, much smoother than ordinary hydrophobic glass. This allows water to disperse evenly or “sheet off” and evaporate quickly, greatly reducing water spotting.
Added advantages of self cleaning glass
The sputtering process used in self cleaning glass allows more visible light transmittance than any comparable competitive product.
Low-E comfort and efficiency
When self cleaning glass is fabricated with low-emissivity LoE coatings, it provides maximum comfort indoors. Therefore, you enjoy year-round comfort inside the home and an average of 25% energy savings annually.
Self cleaning glass, clearly the top choice
Window cleaning just got easier with self cleaning glass. No manual activation required, just a little help from the sun. The results are virtually spotless windows, less time cleaning and more time enjoying the view.
Select double-pane, tempered or laminated configurations, in custom shapes and sizes and with any of our Lo-E coatings. All are available with self cleaning glass.
