Examples of Pilkington Activ
™
in use
Pilkington Activ
™
is the perfect choice for situations
where cleaning is difficult or costly, such as high-rise
buildings, glass roof structures or conservatories and
atria, or in housing for use by elderly residents.
It is also ideal where good visibility is important,
for example, in sports stadiums, commentary boxes,
airports and external walkways.
Several examples of how Pilkington Activ
™
has been
incorporated into buildings are included here.
A design feature of this private home near Chester,
the atrium style roof to the central family room
allows maximum light inside and offers stunning
views from the galleried landing. By specifying
Pilkington Activ
™
, the architect ensured that the glass
always looks at its best, especially as cleaning access
is so restricted.

When the Flevoland Golf Club at Lelystad in the
Netherlands built its new clubhouse, the glass
faηade was designed to give panoramic views over
the new course, with Pilkington Activ
™
the obvious
choice. The owners have been extremely pleased
with how good the glass looked straight from fitting,
with fantastic clarity – even immediately after a
rain shower.
Appearance
Pilkington Activ
™
appears just like any other glass and the coating only reduces the amount of light and energy that passes through
by a small amount. From certain angles it also has a slight blue tint. It is important to bear this in mind when Pilkington Activ
™
is
used alongside other types of glass.
Transport and Storage
During transportation and storage, the coated surface can be covered with plastic wrap for additional protection. Care should be
taken when choosing the protective film, especially where the film may be adhered to the glass for long periods of time. Care should
also be taken that the edges of the glass are not damaged during transport, storage and insulation. Damaged glass should not be
glazed. Glass should be stored in dry conditions and out of sunlight, stacked upright and fully supported in a manner which prevents
the glass from sagging. It should be stood on edge on strips of wood, felt or other relatively soft material.
Decorative Effects
For advice on the compatibility of decorative leads, colour overlays and Georgian Bars, please refer to the Technical Update on
our website or contact our Technical Advisory Helpline on 01744 692000.
Recycling
Pilkington Activ
™
can be recycled as .oat glass. Nevertheless, National regulations should be followed for the disposal of glass.
Thermal Safety
The possibility of excessive thermal stress being developed in the glass owing to solar radiation should be considered at all stages of
design and construction. It is the responsibility of the customer or specifier to ensure that annealed glass is thermally safe for each
application.

One of the more unusual domestic applications for
Pilkington Activ
™
is this swimming pool cover in
Bourgogne, France. Every pane had to meet safety
regulations, and the owners have been delighted with
the effectiveness of the self-cleaning process and the
transparency of the glass.
