Cleaning glass facades: Challenges and solutions for large windows
27 January 2025
Glass is a material that has inspired architects and designers again and again for decades. Its versatility gives modern buildings a special aesthetic. Glass surfaces are used in countless variations: smooth, textured, frosted, wired, anti-reflective or with films. Whether in office buildings, shopping centers or stylish residential buildings - glass facades provide light-flooded rooms and an attractive appearance.
However, the care of glass facades requires special attention and expertise. Professional cleaning services that focus on the highest quality and safety are required to ensure that glass facades always shine in all their glory. We have summarized the challenges of glass facade cleaning and innovative solutions for you.
The challenges of cleaning glass facades
Cleaning glass facades is a challenging task. Large glass surfaces in particular mean more time and resources need to be spent on thorough cleaning. In addition, modern buildings often have unusual architecture with complex shapes and structures that make access to all glass surfaces difficult.
The shape and height of the buildings make the difficult accessibility of many glass facades the biggest challenge for the cleaning teams. Special techniques such as the use of scaffolding or lifting platforms are often necessary to reach all areas of the façade. Of course, the safety aspect plays a central role here. Working at great heights is risky and requires special safety equipment and precautions.
Weather conditions such as wind, rain and extreme temperatures can make cleaning even more difficult and affect the quality of the results. Environmental influences such as dust, deposits, bird droppings, algae and moss lead to stubborn soiling that requires special treatment.
Effective solutions for glass facade cleaning
To overcome these challenges, avitea Industrieservice relies on state-of-the-art technology and tried-and-tested processes. Special vehicles with lifting platforms enable safe access to high and hard-to-reach areas of the facade. Our carbon rod systems pump water upwards and spray it on using a brush system to ensure thorough and gentle cleaning.
We use demineralized water for glass cleaning, which prevents limescale deposits and ensures streak-free results. We also use environmentally friendly and effective cleaning agents that are kind to nature and at the same time guarantee thorough cleaning. Choosing the right time for cleaning is also crucial. Spring and fall are ideal, as it is not too warm and there is sufficient daylight. These seasons are also characterized by increased soiling due to pollen and dust deposits.avitea-industrieservice.de
One of our most innovative methods is the osmosis process. Special glass cleaning agents and tools are used to clean your glass surfaces in order to achieve the best possible result. Our cleaning experts use this process to effectively remove streaks, fingerprints, dust and other contaminants from windows and mirrors - without any chemical impact on the environment.
