Commercial Window Refurbishment - not your everyday glazing!

On paper, commercial glazing refurbishment may seem pretty similar to ordinary everyday glazing. However, there is one key difference; commercial glazing refurbishment entails doing everything a glazier does while being several hundred feet above street level. Despite the associated vertigo and acrophobia, the cleaning, maintenance and repair of most buildings and structures of varying heights is normally quite straightforward. Professionally qualified personnel in high level maintenance teams generally use abseiling type rope lines, these are attached to rooftops or stanchions to allow them to access the length and breadth of any conventional building facade with relative ease. However, when dealing with unconventional buildings, such as those with glass domed roofs or awkward angles then a platform lift can often be a more suitable option. Of course, this is not a job for the faint-hearted as the nature of the work means that there are all manner of potential occupational hazards to deal with. These hazards can range from natural hindrances such as inclement weather to man made obstacles like advertising banners or even power lines. Thankfully, high level maintenance teams have a wealth of experience in carrying out their duties in a professional and effective manner, with safety being the most important aspect of any job. Stringent safety checks are carried out before any work is done and, where public safety may be a concern, i.e. with complicated tasks such as transporting glass panels, it is not uncommon for entire streets to be temporarily closed off to the general public.
