My "Pilkington-K" PVC windows are 100% self cleaning and it really works.
You clean them yourself 100% of the time.:o

GreeBo, is it a scam? I'm thinking of getting them in, but not if it is a waste of money , my windows are mankey on the outside at the moment

well if you are getting new windows they are probably going to be pilkington-k anyway, AFAIK they arent doing anything special to them to make the self-cleaning (or charging you extra) I just dont believe it works very well.

They say the surface of the glass reacts to the sun to loosen the dirt and then that the rain washes the dirt off, lets just say that this is not my experience.
