Getting High Rise Window Washing In NJ Is The Best Idea For Those Tall Buildings

By Freida Michael


If your commercial building was only one story or even two or three, your requirements for window cleaning would not be too technical. You hire a company to come in and they could handle that with a ladder or a scissor lift.. When you have a taller building, such as those in the New Jersey downtown core area, you will need a different crew. You will need to find a company that provides high rise window washing in NJ.

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 few different systems these professionals have available, in New Jersey, to get up or down to your glass, from the roof. What they can use will depend on the type of mechanism you already have installed on the roof. Whatever it is, they will be forced to use the system that coordinates with the operation of that hardware.

One of the simplest and most dangerous is a rope chair. This is designed to cradle the cleaner, similar to what is used in the rigging of tall ships. All that is required to be mounted on the roof will be a block and tackle. This is so the rope, or chain, can be strung through and allow for the easy flowing of that line.

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.

Another system is called a gondola system. It involves a platform, made from scaffolding material with a fence around it to prevent falls. This gondola will allow two or three people to stand and work whether they are cleaning, painting or repairing something. There is space to have a bucket or two and all people have tie downs so they will not get far if they do fall.

No matter what system is used to get the professionals up or down to the windows needing cleaning, they all clean the windows the same way as if they were standing on the ground. They will have a bucket, a wet bar and a squeegee. They may also have a knife for sticky material. The glass is made wet and scrubbed with the wet bar and the knife is used, if needed, while the glass is wet.

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.
