Here are some ways to extend the service life of glass curtain walls:

1. Regular inspection and maintenance

Arrange professionals to conduct regular comprehensive inspections of glass curtain walls, including whether the glass is damaged, whether the sealant is aged and cracked, whether the hardware is loose, etc. For example, a detailed inspection is carried out every six months to promptly identify potential problems and repair them.

Establish an inspection record file to track the handling and maintenance of problems so that you can have a long-term understanding and analysis of the condition of the curtain wall.

2. Cleaning and maintenance

Develop a reasonable cleaning plan and clean the curtain wall surface regularly according to the environment and the degree of pollution. Use appropriate cleaning tools and detergents to avoid damage to the glass and sealant. For example, use a soft cleaning cloth and a neutral detergent to clean the glass.

Pay attention to the safety of cleaning personnel and use professional high-altitude working equipment and protective measures.

3. Sealant maintenance

Regularly check the condition of the sealant and replace it in time if it is found to be aged, cracked or detached. Use high-quality, weather-resistant sealants and ensure the correct construction process. For example, in areas with harsh climates, use sealants with better anti-aging properties.

Focus on checking the interface of the sealant to prevent moisture and air penetration.

4. Protective treatment

Coating or coating the surface of the glass curtain wall to enhance its anti-pollution, anti-ultraviolet and weather resistance. For example, the use of anti-reflective coating can reduce light pollution and improve the durability of glass.

Install sunshade facilities to reduce the damage of direct sunlight to glass and sealant, and reduce the impact of temperature changes on the curtain wall structure.

5. Reasonable use

Avoid applying excessive external force or impact on the curtain wall, and be careful not to damage the curtain wall structure during interior decoration.

Control the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor to avoid uneven expansion and contraction of curtain wall materials due to drastic temperature changes.

6. Timely maintenance

Once any damage or failure of the glass curtain wall is found, it should be repaired immediately to prevent the problem from expanding. For example, if the glass is cracked, it should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid self-explosion.

7. Strengthen quality control

During the design, construction and material selection stages of the curtain wall, strictly control the quality to ensure compliance with relevant standards and specifications. For example, choose suppliers and construction teams with good reputation and quality assurance.

8. Education and training

Provide education and training on the maintenance and use of glass curtain walls to property managers and users to improve their awareness of protection and correct use methods.
