Regular Cleaning
Regular cleaning should be carried out, increasing the frequency if the area is subject to excess debris such as falling leaves or heavy
soiling from atmospheric pollution
. Due to the Free Standing Skybox’s unique bonding method and the pitch built into th
e product,
there should be no water ponding on the glass when installed correctly.
Any standard glass cleaning product can be used to clean the glazing units. However, take care not to use abrasive materials or
cleaners as this may affect the unit and its finish. The framework of the unit can be cleaned using warm soapy water with a soft lint
free cloth. It is important to avoid getting water into the internal channels of the product framework. Therefore, Glazing Vision highly
recommends carrying out any cleaning of the product whilst in the closed position.
