Clean and Clear: The Benefits of Self-Cleaning Windowpanes

As the glass makes up the biggest section of your windows, it can dramatically affect your home’s curb appeal. Water stains and dirt buildup can make beautiful windows look old and grimy. Furthermore, they may have a negative impact on the first impressions your guests will have of your home.

At Renewal by Andersen® of Cincinnati, we understand that cleaning windows isn’t always easy for many homeowners, especially those with busy schedules and multilevel houses. If you are considering window replacement in Cincinnati, look no further than Renewal by Andersen. To keep your windows clean and clear at all times, our glass comes with titanium dioxide coating.

To appreciate its benefits, here are three frequently asked questions about titanium dioxide coating:

1. What is titanium dioxide?
Titanium dioxide is a mineral often used in cosmetics and plants. In the healthcare industry, it helps create self-sanitizing surfaces. In the past years, the window replacement industry has started using it as coating for glass to reduce buildup on porous surfaces.

2. How does it work?
Titanium dioxide is applied on the glass as a nanothin coating, so it isn’t visible to the naked eye. Once activated by sunlight, titanium dioxide decomposes organic matter, which helps reduce grime and dirt on the windowpane. When it rains or when there is water on the glass, the mineral’s hydrophilic characteristic causes water to sheet, letting it run off the glass surface easily.

3. How can I benefit from it?
This innovative coating makes cleaning glass easier. It decreases the number of times you’ll need to wash your windows. You won’t have to worry about dirt buildup and water spots any longer. Furthermore, you can rest easy during rainy days as you know unsightly water spots won’t be ruining your home’s curb appeal.
