A relatively new product in the Tufwell range, dirt resistant or self-cleaning glass
is coated with a special resistant material which actively keeps dirt away from
the glass surface and washes clean during rain fall. This can save money in the
mid to long term on large building cleaning costs which often have to employ specialist
cleaners and heavy equipment.
Effectively the same as conventional glass, it has a specially developed coating
on the outside that has an innovative dual action. Once exposed to daylight the
coating chemically reacts in two ways. Firstly, it breaks down any ‘organic’ dirt
deposits – such as bird droppings and tree sap – and secondly, rain water ‘sheets’
down the glass to wash the loosened dirt away.
