Window cleaning in Calgary
Why Window Cleaning?
In order for a building or house to present its best image, the windows must be cleaned regularly. Window cleaning is a necessary cleaning procedure that must be performed not only for the purposes of aesthetics but also to protect the investment made in the windows.
Important for Aesthetics
Window cleaning makes a building look open and inviting. It also signals to visitors that the company that owns the building maintains the building's integrity. Dirty windows, on the other hand, make a building look drab, tired, and run down. Dirty windows signal an uncaring view by the owner.
Caring for the Windows
Environmental factors such as oxidants and other contaminants can result in small chips and cracks in the window. Thorough window cleaning removes these issues. A sealant that helps to prevent future issues with these environmental factors can also be applied to protect the windows in between cleaning sessions. Properly cleaning and caring for the windows can ensure the maximum life of the windows and reduce the need for replacement.
Reaching the Windows
While it can be quite easy to reach the lower window levels when cleaning them, reaching the upper levels for window cleaning can be a challenge. Simple scaffolding can be used if the windows are relatively close to the ground. Multi level scaffolding can be used to reach higher windows. In addition, it is possible to have floating scaffolding that is lowered from the roof via a forklift or other stable apparatus in order to ensure its security. This type of arrangement is often used to reach the upper level windows of a high rise building.
Worker safety is paramount when undertaking window cleaning. For this reason, any worker that performs window cleaning while on scaffolding must wear a hard hat, harness, and a safety strap. This will help to ensure that the worker is not seriously injured in the case of a fall while working on the scaffolding.
Equipment Needed
Although it can seem that little equipment is needed for window cleaning, it is not as simple as a bucket of water and a cloth. Due to the adverse environmental factors that can damage exterior windows, a specialized solution is used to gently yet thoroughly clean the debris and other material from the windows. Next a solution that is designed to protect the windows from further environmental damage is applied. Lastly, the streaks are removed by using a special tool that is made to ensure that the most possible light is able to enter the windows.
No one wants to do windows, but there are cleaning services that specialize in doing just that. Think safety first and hire someone else if it is too much of a task for you.
