All Glasdon products are manufactured using only the highest quality materials and are designed to
provide the very best value for money with years of trouble-free service. To help preserve the life of
your Glasdon Building and keep it in pristine condition, we recommend that regular cleaning is
arranged as part of your routine site cleaning programme.
The frequency of cleaning will depend on the prevailing site conditions, e.g. industrial and marine
environments are likely to need more frequent cleaning than rural environments.
