Title: dirt repellant window applications
Post by: active on August 19, 2004, 07:33:33 pm

hello all, I am looking for an application to use on existing windows which acts as a dirt repellant. I know that there are self-cleaning windows available but is there an option for existing glass?

I would be really grateful for suggestions. this is for commercial use.

thanks!

I am sure Mr Jeff Brimble will show you a picture of self cleaning glass when seagulls get to it, but i anit seen him about for a while.

These pictures will show you what self cleaning glass is all about. Best way is to use a window cleaner that use's pure water ( Water Fed Pole ) as no chemical is used, and its well know that chemicals attract dirt in the first place. So sorry i belive there is no such thing in what you are looking for.

Hi Mike, long time no hear.
How do you get on with cleaning this after its applied - does your normal clean take it all off?

it has worked better in some places than others, but what it did was make cleaning the glass easier even though limescale had built up again, those spanish gardeners just dont get it when it comes to changing the irrigation system. I treated it the second time with rain x from halfords.

At last its getting cooler here, been really humid this year, 4 t shirts a day drives my misses mad all that washing.

Rain x is a nightmare to remove!
Not as hot as last year though!
