Self-cleaning glass

Zapytaj o Produkt

Bioclean

Main advantages
Reduction of window cleaning frequency. Easier window pane cleaning – dirt doesn’t stick so strongly. Quicker steam evaporation on the pane on the external side of the building. There are no traces of the raindrops on the surface of the pane.

Applications
A self-cleaning pan is recommended mainly for vision panels and places which are exposed to direct sunlight and rain: windows, front elevations, conservatories, roof windows. The more intensively the pane is insolated and the more intensively it is exposed to the wind, the better operation self-cleaning function has. It is especially recommended for the windows in hard-to reach places. It is not suitable for use inside the rooms.

Construction
CLIMAPLUS BIOCLEAN consists of:

  • BIOCLEAN Self-cleaning glass pane on the internal side;
  • low-emission glass pane 
  • glass panes are divided by hermetic  space  inside the panes which is filled with special gas (normally argon)  

*PLANITHERM FUTURA N coat can also be situated in the position 3, on the side of laminated glass  

Characteristics
BIOCLEAN is a self-cleaning glass which surface is covered with invisible mineral substance (silicon oxide) with photocatalytic and hydrophilic characteristics. This coat is highly resistant. Soil removing on the external surface of the pane proceeds due to double operation of UV radiation of daylight and water:

  • Exposure to UV radiation causes organic soil decomposition and makes  the surface  become hydrophilic  - i.e. it draws the water which collects soil particles while flowing 
  • Flowing on the surface of the glass  water (like rainwater) eliminates decomposed leftovers and mineral dust. Conclusion – the pane washes  itself!

Because of the position of BIOCLEAN coat on the external side of the window pane it is necessary to follow some regulations concerning the installation of the pane and maintenance of  cleanliness:

Maintenance
BIOCLEAN glass enables reduction of glass pane cleaning frequency. However it doesn’t mean that this glass doesn’t require cleaning at all.

  • Internal surface of the pane should be cleaned with clean water, best with  demineralized one. Severe dirt should be cleaned with warm soapy water with the help of a special paddle or with window cleaning lotion with the help of a soft, clean cloth.
  • The pane should be never cleaned  with a razor blade, knife or any other sharp instruments. 
  • Don’t  use cleaning abrasive products allocated to glass or so called water-repellent products.  

Window installation (wood, PVC, aluminium, mixed materials)

  • Don’t  use  packings, sealants containing silicone 
  • Protect the glass from flowing concrete, cement, paints, sealants etc.  
  • Clean the glass carefully at the end of building works.
  • Use compatible components accepted by Saint-Gobain to seal the panes in the windows
