Keeping your glass clean on a Lantern Roof

Cleaning your Lantern Roof

Many people are now changing the glass on their conservatory roof or Lantern roof and replacing it with self-cleaning glass, which saves time in cleaning the windows.

KATpod Lantern Roofs can be supplied with self-cleaning glass.  Request a brochure or visit our website.

How to clean your Lantern Roof glass

It’s advisable to use a small step ladder and ensure it’s positioned on a flat surface, so that you can see what you’re doing when cleaning your glass.  There are various items you can buy to clean windows, so find whatever suits you best.  A long handle with a sponge on the end is useful for applying warm soapy water or a waterfed pole which pumps soap and water along the handle. Start at one end of the Lantern Roof or Conservatory Roof and then work along methodically, to keep any streaks to a minimum. It’s advisable to clean your glass on a dull day as generally cleaning the glass on a warm sunny day will encourage the windows dry to more quickly, causing streaks.

 How does Self-Cleaning glass work?

Self-cleaning glass works in two stages.  The first stage is that a microscopic organic coating reacts with daylight to break down organic dirt. The second stage is that when rainwater falls on the glass, it runs off taking the dirt with it and then has the ability to dry quickly.  In dry summers, it might be necessary to use the hose pipe to wet the glass to keep your windows clean.  If you would normally ask a Window Cleaner to clean your windows, you could save yourself money by fitting self-cleaning glass.  Choose from either a blue or neutral tint.
