# Self-Cleaning Glass Window with Built-in Squeegee By Ayman | Published 2008-05-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/window-built-in-squeegee References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/index.php/2008/05/07/omg-window-with-built-in-squeegee/) Cleaning the outside glass of a window can be both dangerous and tiresome. This window design by Jung-In Jang is perfect for those with lots of windows and who live in rainy areas. Each time you slide the windows, a [built-in squeegee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geckowiper) cleans the glass for you. You obviously need to [clean the inside](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hard-surface-cleaner) yourself, but it's usually less dirty and easier to reach than the other side. So instead of hiring people to dangerously clean those glass skyscrapers, all they need to do is wait for rain (or hose down the building) and ask the people inside to slide the windows! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Self-cleaning Glass:** Opportunity for the development of innovative self-cleaning glass solutions. - **Smart Window Technologies:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the field of smart window technologies. - **Automated Cleaning Systems:** Opportunity for the advancement of automated cleaning systems for windows. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture and Construction:** Disruptive innovation potential in the architecture and construction industry through the adoption of self-cleaning glass technologies. - **Facility Management:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the facility management industry by implementing automated cleaning systems for windows. - **Home Appliance:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the home appliance industry through the development of smart window technologies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Window-Cleaning Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winbot-w2.md) - [Window Vacuum Cleaner Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aria-concept.md) - [Sleek-Designed Household Squeegees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justhang-squeegee.md) - [Edge-Detecting Window Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winbot-w1-pro.md) - [Aftermarket Vacuum Window Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/satuo-w1.md) - [Self-Cleaning Measuring Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamfarms.md) - [Squid-Inspired Smart Windows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquidfilled-panel.md) - [Self-Cleaning Glass Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/self-cleaning-glass.md) - [Portable Window Projection Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/village-concept.md)
