Rope Access Window Cleaning: Whether your building is a three-story retail outlet, multi-story corporate building, or residential high-rise, your windows cop a lot more wear and tear than you may realise. This is because your building’s windows and facades are under constant stress and pressure from the seasons and elements.
Every day, year in, year out, your windows and exterior fixtures are facing the onslaught of:
- High-winds
- Rain and hail
- Harsh UV radiation exposure
- Contaminants and pollutants
- Dirt and grime
- Extreme heat
- Cold temperatures and more
If regularly scheduled cleaning, inspection and maintenance of your windows are neglected, you may be compromising the structural integrity and longevity of one of your building’s most critical components.
Window cleaning also helps to provide optimal light for the well being of occupants, pets and plants. One of the most cost-effective, efficient and safe services for comprehensive window cleaning and maintenance is professional rope access window cleaning.
Professional rope access technicians, like the ones here at Abseilers United Sydney, are highly-trained professionals who can access your windows and fixtures by utilising their abseiling skills and talents.
Read on to learn more about the many benefits of hiring a professional rope access technician and why the team here at Abseilers United Sydney are your best choice for rope access Window Cleaning.
What is rope access window cleaning?
Rope access window cleaning is performed by a rope access technician who specialises in abseiling. Abseiling, also known as rappelling, is the controlled descent down a structure, such as a sheer rock face or a building, utilising fixed ropes, anchor points and harnesses.
Traditionally the skill of climbers, mountaineers, and search and rescue professionals, this art has in recent times been adapted for use in building cleaning, inspection and maintenance services.
The rope access technicians here at Abseilers United Sydney, have experience in all aspects of commercial and industrial abseiling and rope access solutions.
The benefits of hiring a rope access window cleaning
When people think about high rise window cleaners, they might often envision a couple of tradespeople working on a safety platform that raises and lowers via a pulley system.
Traditionally, this has been the most common way to clean and maintain a building’s exterior surface. So what are the benefits of booking a rope access window cleaning service over the usual methods?
Who can benefit from rope access window cleaning?
Anyone who owns or manages a commercial, industrial or residential high-rise building can save money and be provided with better cleaning and maintenance solution by utilising a team of rope access professionals.
Examples of structures where rope access window cleaning may be applicable include:
- Multi-story residential apartment blocks
- Corporate office high-rises
- Sporting facilities and stadiums
- Hospitals and medical facilities
- Industrial buildings
- Large-scale glass atriums and greenhouses
- Multi-use buildings and more
Rope access technicians have the added benefit of 360° of motion and complete structure access, providing you with a superior clean, inspection, and maintenance service.
Cost-effective Rope Access Technician
Old school window cleaning methods can be expensive, not just due to the dangerous nature of the work; it also takes a long time to set up, secure, safety check and deploy large, cumbersome window cleaning apparatus.
A well trained, professional rope access technician, like the ones here at Abseilers United, can set up, secure, descend and get to work in a fraction of the time it takes traditional high-risk window cleaners.
A qualified rope access technician is also free from the restrictions of a scaffold apparatus, meaning they can access, clean and inspect your building exterior effectively, providing you with cleaner windows, comprehensive inspections and quicker maintenance with things like window caulking.
Many window cleaners also only offer a cleaning service, meaning that you must seek another provider for inspection and basic maintenance, costing you more time and money.
Rope Access Window Cleaning- The safer way
Rope access window cleaning requires a lot less equipment and safety points than classic window cleaning techniques. As a result, less equipment, people-power, and apparatus reduce or remove many risk factors from the job.
Some examples of how rope access window cleaning is safer than outdated window cleaning methods include:
- No scaffolding or apparatus is required, meaning less drop or rescue hazards and less chance of apparatus failure.
- Rope access technicians require less equipment, reducing other risk factors that often come with traditional window cleaning systems.
- If a rescue is required, the same team can access their work colleague with minimal risk and without emergency services.
- Rope access window cleaning is more efficient than traditional models, meaning the abseiling professional spends less time in harm’s way.
Rope access window cleaning has a proven track record for being the safest way to clean and maintain windows and building exteriors.
