ARCHITECTURAL GLAZING MAINTENANCE

An important consideration when specifying architectural glazing is to ensure that that structure can be sufficiently maintained. Maintenance considerations when dealing with architectural glazing typically include:-

 

 

Glass Breakage/ Replacement

 

Glass and Framework Cleaning

 

General Maintenance of Seals, Gaskets and Hardware

 

System Component Replacement

 

 

 

Depending on the life span intensions of the design, the installations age and the subjected environment, architectural glass products may require some of the above maintenance functions during their operational life.

 

The difficulty experienced is generally due to there being so many different architectural glass designs, extrusions and details. At Glazing Innovations, we offer an ongoing and full maintenance service on all products supplied. All our operations manuals have transparent supplier/ maintenance instructions and we are often asked to investigate and report on the performance on deteriorated glass designs. Details of such services may be located within our consultancy pages.

 

If you would like to consult one of our sales team regarding any aspect of architectural glass maintenance, please do not hesitate to contact us with your enquiry.

 
Glass Breakage and Replacement

Glass Replacement in Architectural Glazing can often be very costly. Mainly due to the lack to information passed between supplier and client (occupier) in previous years. All products supplied by Glazing Innovations are accompanied by an Operations and Maintenance Manual, which in turn contain ballooned General Arrangement drawings and copies of the designs glass schedules.

 

We offer an efficient service in providing replacement glass to our products and offer a full site survey and replacement service on old systems where a lack of system knowledge is experienced.

 

We have provided the adjacent images to assist, should you be struggling in determining the general specification of a broken glass installed.

Glass Cleaning

As a company, we recommend that architectural glazing be cleaned with a suitable mild detergent on no less than a bi-annual basis. You should always refer to the supplier’s recommendations/ considerations and pay particular attention to the cleaning instructions on coated glass. Depending on the specification of your architectural glass and environmental factors, regular cleaning will help to prevent general deterioration and staining.

 

Most general cleaning contractors would be suitable for these works and Glazing Innovations recommend reviewing the methods provided within in the buildings Operations and Maintenance manual before further consultation.

 

Glazing Innovations offer cleaning and maintenance contracts on all products supplied, in addition to architectural glazing products provided by other suppliers.

General Maintenance of Seals, Gaskets and Hardware

Generally system seals, gaskets and hardware are the initial components to any system that will begin to fail through age and environmental deterioration.

 

A full set of maintenance considerations should accompany any design and on modern day architectural glazing, should be located within the contracts Operations and Maintenance manuals.

 

Should you experience any evidence of failing system components you should seek immediate advice. By ignoring the deterioration of any of components, leak damage or even structure failure could follow.

 

Glazing innovations can offer and consultancy package on such areas.

Glazing System Component Replacement

In some instances, you may wish for previously installed components to be replaced. Either due to the age of the structure (and components working loose/missing) or due to accidental damage.

 

In the first instance and to save on cost, you should always try to track down the original supplier as they should have working drawings for the component and sometimes there own developed extrusions.

 

Again, with modern procedures all supplier information should be available in the buildings Operations and Maintenance manual. In the instances where this option has been exhausted, Glazing Innovations believe that modern day architectural glazing companies should assist in the remedial of previous industry procedural deficiencies. We therefore offer a complete architectural glazing consultancy and remedial service.
