FAQ — SELF‑CLEANING GLASS
1. What is self‑cleaning glass?
Self‑cleaning glass is glass with a special nano‑coating that uses natural rainwater and sunlight to break down and wash away dirt, reducing the need for frequent cleaning.
2. How does self‑cleaning glass work?
The nano‑coating promotes hydrophilic water sheeting and reacts with sunlight to loosen contaminants, allowing rainwater to wash them away.
3. Is self‑cleaning glass maintenance‑free?
It greatly reduces manual cleaning frequency, but occasional rinsing may be recommended in extremely dry or dusty environments.
4. Can self‑cleaning glass be tempered?
Yes. It can be combined with tempered, laminated or insulated glass formats for enhanced performance.
5. Where is self‑cleaning glass most useful?
Exterior façades, high‑rise windows, retail storefronts, skylights, and any area that is difficult to access for manual cleaning.
6. Does the coating affect visibility?
No. The nano coating is transparent and does not impact optical clarity when properly applied.
7. Can self‑cleaning glass be combined with Low‑E coatings?
Yes. It can be combined with Low‑E, tinted, reflective or insulated glass systems to create multi‑functional glazing solutions.
8. How long does the self‑cleaning coating last?
With proper use and environmental exposure, the nano coating remains effective for many years, though performance may vary by environment and maintenance.
