Better view thanks to self-cleaning coating

Sometimes modern triple insulation glass windows surprise their proud owners when, following a particularly cold night, the window panes are temporarily covered with condensation on the outside. In fact what is a sure sign of the good quality of the heat insulation can be irritating. A clear view despite condensation is guaranteed by self-cleaning coatings, without reducing the performance of the highly-efficient heat insulation glasses.

The climate in many parts of Germany during the cold season is characterized by high levels of humidity. If it cools down sharply at night and in the morning the relatively moist air meets cold window panes, air can absorb less moisture and, as a consequence, condensation forms on the glass surface. You will recognize this effect from cars parked outdoors. In just the same way, incidentally, moisture is deposited on the opaque outer panels of high heat insulated façades - with the difference that the condensation is scarcely visible here. What may seem romantic as morning dew after a cloudless night tends to be rather annoying on window panes.
