Facade Cleaning Service Types

Each facade material requires specific cleaning approaches to achieve thorough contamination removal while protecting surface integrity. Our services address the unique characteristics of different building materials.

Glass Curtain Wall Cleaning

Glass facades accumulate water deposits, atmospheric pollution films, and construction residues that reduce transparency and affect building appearance. Our cleaning approach removes these contaminants without damaging seals or gaskets.

  • Low-pressure water application
  • pH-neutral detergent systems
  • Squeegee finishing techniques
  • Seal inspection during cleaning
  • Frame and spandrel treatment

Architectural Concrete Treatment

Exposed concrete surfaces develop biological growth, pollution staining, and salt efflorescence over time. These deposits require careful removal to preserve the concrete texture and prevent surface erosion.

  • Biocide application for organic growth
  • Controlled pressure washing
  • Efflorescence neutralization
  • Texture preservation protocols
  • Aggregate protection methods

Ceramic Tile Systems

Ceramic facades require cleaning methods that address surface contamination while protecting grout lines and tile adhesion. Our approach maintains joint integrity throughout the cleaning process.

  • Grout-safe cleaning agents
  • Soft brush application
  • Joint inspection protocols
  • Glaze protection methods
  • Edge detail attention

Ventilated Cladding Systems

Ventilated facades feature panel systems with concealed attachment mechanisms. Cleaning requires awareness of panel boundaries, joint locations, and drainage paths to avoid water infiltration.

  • Panel-specific cleaning methods
  • Joint seal verification
  • Drainage path protection
  • Attachment point inspection
  • Material-appropriate chemicals

Metal Panel Facades

Metal cladding systems including aluminum composite panels and steel surfaces develop oxidation staining and atmospheric deposits. Our cleaning preserves protective coatings while removing contamination.

  • Coating-safe detergents
  • Oxidation treatment methods
  • Scratch prevention protocols
  • Seam and fastener care
  • Finish restoration options

Natural Stone Surfaces

Stone facades including granite, marble, and limestone require cleaning methods matched to stone porosity and mineral composition. Our approach addresses biological growth and staining while respecting stone characteristics.

  • Stone-type identification
  • Porosity-appropriate methods
  • Biological growth removal
  • Stain extraction techniques
  • Surface sealing options

Contamination Types We Address

Atmospheric Pollution

Carbon deposits, industrial emissions, and vehicle exhaust create dark films on facade surfaces. These deposits bond chemically to building materials and require specific cleaning agents for removal.

Biological Growth

Algae, moss, and lichen establish on facade surfaces in humid conditions. These organisms penetrate surface pores and require biocide treatment followed by mechanical removal.

Water Staining

Mineral deposits from rainwater runoff create visible streaking on facades. These calcium and magnesium compounds require acidic cleaning solutions for dissolution.

Salt Efflorescence

Soluble salts migrate through porous materials and crystallize on surfaces. Efflorescence removal requires water-based extraction followed by surface drying to prevent recurrence.

Construction Residues

Mortar splatter, concrete dust, and protective film adhesive remain on facades after construction. These materials require mechanical and chemical removal methods specific to each residue type.

Environmental Deposits

Dust, pollen, and organic debris accumulate in facade details and surface texture. Regular cleaning prevents deposit buildup that can lead to permanent staining.

Cleaning Method Selection Process

Our technicians follow a systematic approach to determine appropriate cleaning methods for each facade section:

Material Identification

We examine facade composition to understand surface characteristics, protective coatings, and material vulnerabilities that influence cleaning method selection.

Contamination Assessment

Different contaminants require specific removal approaches. We identify deposit types and their bonding mechanisms to select effective cleaning agents.

Test Application

Before proceeding with full cleaning, we test selected methods on small inconspicuous areas to verify effectiveness and confirm surface compatibility.

Protocol Development

Based on test results, we establish cleaning parameters including chemical concentration, application time, pressure settings, and rinsing procedures.
