Does anyone have real world experience with this Neat Glass Option? Not a huge priced option and sounds interesting...


Clean and Simple
JELD-WEN� wood windows and patio
doors are now available with Neat�
glass, which provides natural cleaning
convenience. This glass features an
invisible permanent coating of titanium dioxide and
silicon dioxide, so it stays cleaner longer.
� Dirt is loosened via the sun�s UV rays, so rainwater
can easily rinse away grime
� Glass is effective even when the sky is cloudy
� The ultra-smooth glass surface prevents water spots
� No manual activation is required

glass may be neat but the windows themselves are borderline crap.

Borderline is probably understating it.

Their warranty and the way they have bought companies and skirted the warranty is certainly crappy.

Putting held wen aside what are peoples thoughts with self cleaning glass

RE: Jeld Wen Neat Glass Option

Self cleaning glass is a nice option but does need somewhat ideal conditions to work optimally.

Most people don't find that it works that well.

Self-cleaning glass is nothing new. It's been in and out of the market for 25 yrs or more. If you have large picture windows up high, it's probably worth it - it may work for a while, it may help. I would do it. On windows you can clean yourself easily, I wouldn't do it. Now, that's not a technical answer, I know :)

Oberon is smart cookie to put it mildly.

You won't find a fenestration question that he can't answer.

Great guy to go with that great mind as well.
