The modern metropolis sparkles with mirrored buildings, glass facades and openwork stained glass windows. But under the influence of exhaust gases, dust and soot, this shine dims, darkening the rainbow picture of the city. Rope access specialists are called upon to fight this. Wash of facades and windows provides not only a favorable appearance of the building, but also has a positive effect on its n of structural elements.
Organic impurities, fungus, rust can cause deterioration of the facade system components. A decrease in the light transmission capacity of glazing entails an increase in the cost of electricity for additional lighting of the premises. To effectively solve these problems there is a high-rise cleaning. These activities include cleaning windows at height, cleaning facades and washing stained-glass windows. Lifting devices are used for washing at height, but rope access technology is most often used. The rope access technology allows you to quickly solve the problem of washing facades and windows, while the customer saves on the rental of lifting devices. Also, the method of industrial climbing helps in cases where the use of machinery and scaffolding is not possible in principle. Especially it concerns internal washing of window surfaces and stained-glass windows in winter gardens and atriums. The main characteristics of window cleaning by climbers are mobility, speed and quality. The climber uses special equipment, which allows to reach the most hard-to-reach places and organize the working space, which can be difficult to do with the lifting mechanisms.
To wash the facade, the climber climb the roof of the building, carrying all his equipment with him, fixed to the elements of the facade, able to withstand sufficient load and performs work on the cleaning of facades and windows. As a rule, the facade is washed from top to bottom, although for non-standard tasks, it can be used to climb to the height of the rope with the help of clips and triggers. Washing the facade is not only a task of accessing a certain point at height. A high-rise washer must determine the nature of the contamination, the method of cleaning and the choice of cleaning agents.
Most often the facade is washed by hand, using professional tools (fur coat, chiseling, scraper). But in some cases it is more rational to use a mechanical method of cleaning. This is an increase in the speed of work, saving chemical reagents and, accordingly, reducing the total cost of work. But there are also disadvantages of washing windows in this way does not allow to achieve high quality. Therefore, cleaning the facade with a device is well suited for facade glazing, with regular washing, several times a year and for non-glass surfaces of the facade. In any case, when washing the high-rise buildings to date, without the technology of rope access can not do without it, as rope access - the main component of high-rise cleaning. And a facade washing by climbers - a complex of services for achievement of the maximum result in the minimum terms.
