Facade Cleaning

Some of the most popular materials used for building facades include glass, stone, and wood, although some properties may feature facades made from metals such as stainless steel or aluminium. There are a number of reasons why a building facade can appear dirty. For example, the weather can take its toll, as can pollutants in the air. This combination can cause a facade to fade in colour, impacting on the building’s overall appearance.

How a facade is cleaned will depend on the material it is made from. The equipment and solutions used will be specific to the type of material so as to ensure no damage occurs during the cleaning process. The building’s location and function may also determine exactly how the facade is cleaned.

Why is facade cleaning important?

Put simply, a clean, attractive building is much more aesthetically pleasing than a dirty one. There’s no denying that a fresh-looking facade presents a more welcoming, hospitable front, helping to set the tone for the rest of the building and your business. So, if you’re keen to impress passers-by and those who may be entering your premises, it’s important to make sure that the facade of your building is kept in tiptop condition and clear of grime, stains and unsightly marks.

Keeping the facade of your building clean is also important if you rent the property. You may find that your rental agreement states you must maintain the exterior of the building, so it is essential that you keep this part of the property clean at all times.
