Cleaning of coated metal facades

For some years now, more and more matt or textured coated metal façades have been installed. They lend buildings a high-quality and modern character, but place very high demands on cleaning and are above all a major challenge.

For some years now, more and more matt or textured coated metal façades have been installed. They lend buildings a high-quality and modern character, but place very high demands on cleaning and are above all a major challenge. Aluminum and sheet metal in particular require special cleaning agents and techniques in order to treat the materials gently and protect them in the long term.

Regular cleaning is essential for these surfaces. With standard weathering quality, cleaning may even be necessary annually, depending on the location. If this is not observed and the coatings show the first signs of chalking and are already faded, these are the first signs of irreparable damage. A careful approach when selecting cleaning methods is crucial in order to achieve the desired cleaning result and at the same time avoid possible damage to the surface. Careful but thorough cleaning with a neutral cleaning agent and subsequent preservation can prevent further damage. If possible, the cleaning process should first be tested on a non-visible sample surface. If the use of abrasive cleaners is unavoidable, they should only be used very carefully and without pressure.

Prevent damage to metal facades

Metal façades are particularly susceptible to corrosion and other damage caused by environmental influences. Regular cleaning is therefore essential to prevent this damage and extend the life of the façade. It is important to use the right cleaning agents and techniques to avoid damaging the delicate surface of the metal façade. With the right care, the corrosion protection of the façade can be maintained, saving costs in the long term for costly repairs or even replacement of the façade.

Advantages of regular cleaning

Regular cleaning of facades offers numerous advantages. It protects the surface from harmful influences, maintains the visual impression and extends the service life of the façade. A clean façade improves the appearance of the entire building and can increase the value of the property. In addition, a well-maintained façade contributes to the positive perception of the building and can attract potential tenants or buyers. Investing in regular façade cleaning therefore pays off in many ways.
