Explore Planibel Easy
Planibel Easy has two main uses, each with its own unique benefits.
Firstly, it keeps your windows, conservatories and greenhouses clean. How? Very simple: the special coating on the glazing first uses daylight to destroy organic dirt and then rain to remove it.
Secondly, it helps to reduce microbial contamination on exterior and interior glass surfaces when exposed to daylight.
How? UV radiation striking the glass activates the coating (photocatalysis), which in turn accelerates the destruction of virus particles on the surface, including SARS-CoV-2 (the virus responsible for COVID-19).
Planibel Easy Benefits
Easy maintenance
The coating ensures that water spreads evenly over the surface of the glass, resulting in uniform cleaning of the glass surface and quick drying.
The coating helps to destroy virus particles, reducing the risk of viral transmission when you touch the surface.
Excellent light transmission
Lets in maximum daylight.
Neutral aesthetics
Virtually indistinguishable from standard window glass.

expert talk
I started my career at AGC 25 years ago and while I had the opportunity to grow and evolve in various business units and departments, I never stopped being amazed at how versatile and innovative glass is. Glass offers so many solutions and helps to make our world a better, healthier and safer place to live in. There is no way not to be passionate about this amazing and noble material!
Planibel Easy Applications
Glass floors, staircases and roofs have become classic design features. Control the amount of natural light you wish to let in by opting for fully transparent or partially translucent glass. It’s up to you! And enjoy a sparkling view of the outside world.
Windows not only let occupants enjoy natural daylight, solar protection and/or thermal insulation, they also provide enhanced safety and protection from surrounding noise. Contemporary glass technology offers a wealth of possibilities.

Planibel Easy glass produced by AGC induces a faster delay of the virus than other materials such as plastic or untreated glass.
