Cleaning is a hidden real estate tax. In 2026, we reduce these costs to zero. Self-cleaning materials with the 'Lotus Effect' have become standard for high-traffic zones. Furniture repels water, oil, graffiti, and bacteria. We explore how photocatalytic titanium dioxide in varnish destroys viruses under lamp light and why a white reception desk looks brand new a year later.
Hydrophobicity and Oleophobicity
We coat receptions with a nano-texture mimicking a lotus leaf. A liquid drop doesn't spread but rolls into a ball, picking up dust, and rolls off under its own weight. This works even for complex pollutants: spilled espresso or marker ink doesn't absorb into wood or stone. To clean, simply blow the dirt away with an air stream.
Photocatalysis: Light Kills Dirt
Active Protection
For frequently touched surfaces, we use coatings with nano-titanium dioxide. Under any light (even office LEDs), an oxidation reaction occurs, decomposing organics — from fingerprints to flu viruses. The reception desk disinfects itself 24/7. This is operating room technology brought to business centers.
