Will Pilkington K glass and other self cleaning glass bring an end to the common window cleaner? That is the question a lot of people who have seen it in action are asking themself. Those who have not seen it for themselves tend to doubt that it even works at all! Once you have seen how it works and understand the remarkable technology behind this type of glass, you will understand why people ask the question. The secret behind how it works is in the microscopic world of nanotechnology. To the naked eye, glass appears to be very smooth, but in fact it is extremely porous. Using processes discovered by nanotechnology, a normal sheet of glass is given a thin coat of a special substance that acts in two ways to make the glass shed dirt. Through something that is called photocatalytic action, when exposed to sunlight, this coating actually breaks down organic dirt. The UV rays from the sun cause this reaction. It usually takes place within a week of installing the glass. Secondly, the ultr
