Window cleaning in office buildings - who should be entrusted with this task?

Taking care of the condition of the façade and window frames in office buildings is a particularly demanding task. The taller the building in question, the more complications are associated with this task. Therefore, instead of outsourcing window cleaning to your own cleaning team, it is better to choose specialists who will carry out this task quickly and efficiently, and above all - completely safely. In the case of many office buildings, the amount of glazing that needs cleaning is enormous. Therefore, to deal with this task it is best to use specialists in rope access services.

Office buildings are often buildings with dozens of floors, the façade of which abounds in numerous glazings and is sometimes even entirely covered with glass. Since they are most often found in city centers, they are exposed to various airborne pollutants present throughout the year. Dust, exhaust particles, tree pollen, smog - these are just a few examples. As they settle on the surface of the building, they reduce its aesthetics, forming deposits of dirt. Removing it requires the use of not only special detergents, but, above all, the use of people with access to specialized equipment and with the appropriate skills and training.

Industrial rope access services, also known as urban alpinism, are practiced by expert teams. They use rope techniques used in mountaineering, among other activities. They also use special protection systems - helmets, harnesses, climbing shoes and other professional gear.

The most important thing, however, is to complete special training and thus develop the appropriate skills. For this reason, urban mountaineering is often carried out by people who specialize in high altitude climbing and decide to use their skills in their professional work. Such specialists include the employees of our company, ready to wash out windows in a building of any type of structure and height.

Specifics of window cleaning at heights

In some respects, cleaning windows located at high altitudes is no different from cleaning ordinary windows. The same groups of detergents are used, and the course of cleaning the glass looks similar. The biggest difference is that high-altitude windows are often heated up during the day, which could lead to problems in the application of cleaning liquids, cause rapid evaporation and streaking. For this reason, washing is done either early in the morning or late in the evening, or on days with limited sunlight.
