Window Cleaning/Consulting Fusion

 Building owners and maintenance management companies should ONLY hire window cleaning companies that are capable of accurate inspections of windows.  The goal is to prevent the loss of many thousands of dollars from "sick windows".  

Hard water spots; HWS can form on any fenestration surface whether that be glass, metal, or plastic.  The technique used to remove such is very much the same except it is quite difficult to get them off dark tinted glass.  A window cleaner who is Glass Smart will know when the integrity of the surface has been compromised.  Before this problem becomes too difficult to repair.

Scratches: Such can be very mild or rather large.  They can be dramatically enhanced by the wrong chemicals.  We need to know exactly what they are.  What products they are used in.  And especially how to identify where they cam from if we happen to reveal them during the window cleaning process.

Negative deflection; This is an extreme problem where windows can spontaneously implode with a very loud bang under the right conditions. This does not matter how old they are.  There is a very simple test that can detect this problem.

IG Unit Seal Failure;  Definitely not an attractive problem.  It begins very slow but can quickly become a huge cloud in the middle of the window.  When it first begins it is virtually impossible to see but can still be discovered.  There is nothing that can fix this problem.  It is good to know when you are buying a house or else you will have to keep it.

There are many other problems that can develop.  The Glass Smart window cleaner will know what they are and keep a very close watch on your building.  Every time the windows are cleaned.
