RADIANCE™ Self-Cleaning Glass is the latest example of the type of innovation that has given our window manufacturer, BFRich, a reputation as a pioneer in the window and door industry.
     
Leading Edge Glass Technology Available from BFRich
 

 

 

Patented Multi-Layered Coating
 

New Radiance provides the distinct advantage of a glass that is virtually self-cleaning and maintenance free.
 

Through a patented multi-layered coating and application process, Radiance offers photo catalytic properties combined with water-sheeting capabilities to enhance the appearance of all windows.
 

A Two-Step Cleaning Process
 

By using the ultra-violet rays from the sun, Radiance breaks down organic materials that normally accumulate on the glass surface. Although the coating process and chemistry are proprietary, the active material in the coating is titanium dioxide. When exposed to sunlight, TiO2 creates a reaction that literally breaks down organics (dirt) over time. The more UV that the window glass is exposed to, the better the performance of the coating.
 

In addition to the photo catalytic benefit, Radiance also has the ability to ‘sheet’ dirt, dust, and other debris away when rinsed by rain or when sprayed with water from a hose. This rinsing benefit not only cleans the glass with an even distribution of water, but minimizes water droplet stains as the window dries.
 

For Residential and Commercial Applications
 

Radiance is available in Single strength (2.5mm) through 1/4" (6mm) for both residential and commercial glazing applications. The product coating is durable, temperable, and as easy to handle as other coated products.
 

Radiance offers pleasing aesthetics and years of reduced maintenance when glazed as the exterior lite in an insulating unit.
 

For Best Results:
 

• the Radiance coating requires UV exposure for complete activation
 

• occasional water-rinsing will maximize Radiance
 

Cleaning Capabilities
 

• windows with Radiance can still be washed with window washing fluids/soap and water and dried with clean paper towels or a lint-free cloth
 

 

Product Availability
RADIANCE Self-Cleaning glass is available in K & A1 windows.
