Energy efficiency and low maintenance glass technology are offered by the new High Performance Low E4 self cleaning glass from Andersen Windows. The glass combines soft coat low emissivity and argon filled double glazed units with an exterior self clean coating. A transparent microscopic coating of titanium dioxide - which has been bonded into the exterior glass surface during the manufacturing process - is activated by the sun's ultraviolet light in a process called photocatalytic action. This speeds up the oxidation process, loosening dirt and organic material on the exterior pane of the windows. The hydrophilic properties of the coating means that water droplets sheet off the surface, washing away particles.

Made to measure sliding sash windows with self cleaning glass from Andersen Windows have been upgraded. The Woodwright range of products offers the company's new Low E4 self clean glass as standard. Low-E4 glazing incorporates a durable layer of titanium dioxide which is self activating through exposure to sunlight, reducing the build up of dirt and grime and assisting in reducing the cost of cleaning. The window is the first to use Fibrex, a material made from a blend of reclaimed pine wood fibre bonded with a thermoplastic polymer, offering the strength of natural wood and the benefits of pvc-u with Part L compliance.

Claimed to be the first sliding sash window to use Fibrex - a material made from reclaimed pine wood fibre bonded with a thermoplastic polymer - Anderson?s Woodwright window is now its top seller. Fibrex has the appearance of natural wood and the same strength rigidity and thermal performance, but with superior stability. It is also resistant to flaking, blistering, peeling cracking and corrosion so that, like pvc-u, there is no need for painting or regular maintenance.
