Routine Inspection of Moving Parts
During the routine cleaning process we recommend inspection and cleaning of all moving parts such
as external security shutters, sliding windows, door handles, locks and hinges. The application of a
proprietary light oil to items such as security shutters, door lock mechanisms and hinges will also help
to maintain their efficient operation.
Regular cleaning and lubrication where appropriate is essential to prevent an accumulation of
dirt and debris which can be detrimental to most moving parts and cause irreversible damage if
left unattended.
Rainwater Management Systems
Beacon and Warrior Buildings which are supplied for external use have an integral rainwater
management system with fascia guttering and a corner post downspout arrangement. To prevent
any possible blockage and the build up of rainwater on the roof, we recommend periodic inspection
and cleaning of the guttering and the ‘leafguard’ located at the top of each downspout.
Window Glazing Film
Upon delivery of your Building you may find that any tinted and mirror finish glazing film has a
slightly cloudy appearance and contains small surface water bubbles. This is a normal part of the
curing process and it usually clears up within a few weeks of delivery, but may take longer in
colder weather.
Please allow a minimum of 28 days from delivery before cleaning the glazing film and do not
attempt to ‘push out’ any surface defects during this curing period.
Wash with a sponge and warm water containing a mild soapy detergent and rinse immediately with
clean water.
Air Conditioning Systems
If an Air Conditioning System is installed in your Building, the commissioning together with a 12
month maintenance and service agreement (via a third party provider) are normally included as
standard. To ensure the safe and efficient operation of this equipment beyond the initial 12 month
period, we strongly recommend that you make your own arrangements for an ongoing maintenance
and service agreement directly with the existing provider or with an alternative qualified and
competent source.
Warranty
Our standard warranty period is 12 months from the date of delivery and this covers the cost of any
parts and labour required to rectify defects in materials and workmanship supplied by Glasdon. This
warranty does not extend to defects caused by abuse, exceptional usage and modifications or work
undertaken by others.
Spares & Repairs
For replacement and spare parts and repair work etc please contact our Service Department.
CAUTION!
1. For mild soapy detergents we recommend using proprietary household cleaners (or a car body
shampoo for GRP) to the concentration as detailed on the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Do not use organic solvents or abrasive cleaners which may cause surface damage or
colour fading.
3. Always clean from top to bottom and avoid overcleaning or scrubbing which can do more
harm than good.
