Maintaining vertical glass systems is essential for ensuring their longevity,functionality,and aesthetic appeal.Here are the key maintenance requirements.
Glass Panels:Clean the glass surfaces periodically using a mild glass cleaner and a soft,lint-free cloth to remove dirt and smudges.This helps maintain clarity and prevents buildup that could lead to damage over time.
Frames and Tracks:Use a solution of water,vinegar,and dish detergent to clean the frame and tracks.Regularly check for debris that may impede the operation of moving parts.
Lubrication:Annually apply a silicone-based lubricant to moving parts and tracks to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion.
Weather Seals:Inspect weather seals regularly for wear or damage.Promptly replace any compromised seals to maintain the system's weatherproof qualities.
Gaskets and Sealant Joints:Check gaskets for separation from frames and ensure tightness of seals at least once a year.Replace any worn or brittle gaskets as needed.
Operational Mechanisms:Test the operational mechanisms(manual or motorized)periodically to ensure they function smoothly without sticking or abnormal noises.
While vertical glass systems are designed for low maintenance,it’s advisable to schedule periodic professional inspections to address any potential issues before they become significant problems.
In areas with high debris or pollution,more frequent cleaning may be necessary to prevent buildup that could accelerate wear on the system.
By following these maintenance guidelines,you can ensure that vertical glass systems remain functional and visually appealing for years to come.
