Regarding Commercial, Retail, Office, Medical and High Rise Window Cleaning Scheduling
There are three main considerations when scheduling window washing frequency; aesthetic appeal / image and prevention of glass surface damage.
- Location
Height above ground, street/sidewalk proximity, vehicle and pedestrian traffic all are significant factors affecting effective window cleaning frequency. Landscaping, sprinkler systems and building architecture also all play a role. - Environment
External impacts such as exposure to wind and rain and the intensity thereof, the amount and composition of airborne particulates and organic vapors are all significant factors; in addition building design and facade materials also effect the glass and can cause glass surface damage that may be very expensive to remediate if not properly maintained.[1] - Image
Now more than ever people will form an impression of the establishment they are entering even before even opening the door. Crisp, Bright and Clean windows send a message to Customers, Clients and Employees and answer unspoken questions in their minds. Such appearance considerations are particularly a factor when a presentation of cleanliness and/or financial stability and trustworthiness are desired such as in Restaurants, Health Care Facilities, Insurance/Financial Institutions and Professional Offices. - Budget
If a constrained budget is an issue; Neglect may be far more expensive mid-long term, than appropriate maintenance[2] It may be possible to design a glass maintenance program which addresses all of these concerns and considers your budget.
