How The The Firms Who Provide High Rise Window Washing In NJ Do It

By Freida Michael


Tall buildings are a particular pane when it comes to getting their windows cleaned. A scissor lift will need to be used if you have a two story building, but special attention must be paid if your structure is taller than four or five floors. That is when you need to hire the high rise window washing in NJ you have access to.

Of all of the many companies in this area that do this kind of cleaning the one you want will answer your questions forthrightly and without hesitation. They wilt have the equipment necessary for the height of your building and will be able to handle the lower floors quickly. The upper ones will not give them problems, however, they will have to go about these differently.

There are a number of systems in New Jersey, they can opt to use for those upper floors. The selection will have something to do with the hardware and mounted equipment that is already on your roof or built into the sides of your structure. Whatever is available on your roof must operate properly and incorporate easily into at least one of the systems they have available.

Cleaners use to rappel down the side of buildings. This is dangerous way of doing it and most experts will not do this any more. The step up from that is a rope chair similar to what is used for seamen in the rigging of sailing ships. This is a chair, fabricated from various knots to form a seat that cradles and ties in a cleaner. The system that is required, on your roof, will be tie down and a set of block and tackle so the rope or chain can flow freely.

A conversation with the company who will be doing this cleaning will allow you to understand what types of hardware and mounting brackets need to be installed before any work can proceed. The investment is worth it, especially if there is going to be any maintenance involving the outside of the building. This is always a possibility when managing a large structure and should have already been installed if your building is older than 10 or so years.

One of the most popular systems is a gondola, suspended from ropes or chain, draped over the side of the building. This is tied down with appropriate tie downs on the roof and can hold two or three people. Many painters use this and window cleaners love the room that is available on this scaffolding type floor. There is a fence to prevent falls and safety chains to secure them from leaving the platform.

Regardless of the system used to get cleaners down to the glass, they all pretty much use the same system to clean the panes. They will use a wet bar, ducked into a bucket, to wet and scrub the glass. The knife will be used while the glass is wet to remove sticky material and the squeegee will then be brought into operation.

The show that is put on, by using the squeegee, is an interesting one. That is because everyone uses a slightly different technique. Some start at the top and move the tool straight down the glass and goes back to the top. Advanced cleaners use a fairly complicated swirling motion to clear the glass in just one stroke.
