What are the long-term maintenance requirements for a glass curtain wall? 1

The long-term maintenance requirements for a glass and aluminum curtain wall are primarily focused on routine cleaning, regular inspections, and occasional component repair to ensure its sustained performance and aesthetic appeal. The most frequent task is cleaning the glass and aluminum surfaces. In environments like Saudi Arabia, where sand and dust accumulation is common, regular washing is necessary to maintain the building's appearance and prevent corrosive buildup, especially in coastal areas like Dammam. The cleaning schedule will vary depending on the location and local conditions. Beyond cleaning, periodic inspections, typically conducted annually or biennially, are crucial. These inspections should be performed by qualified technicians who check the condition of all gaskets, sealants, and joints. Over time, sealants can dry out, shrink, or crack due to UV exposure and extreme temperature cycles, compromising the system's weather resistance. Any deteriorated sealants should be replaced promptly to prevent water leaks. The inspection should also cover the structural integrity of the system, including checking anchor points and looking for any signs of material fatigue or damage. Hardware for operable windows or vents must also be checked and lubricated to ensure proper function. High-quality aluminum, with a durable powder-coated or anodized finish, is inherently low-maintenance and resistant to corrosion, which simplifies long-term care. Proactive maintenance is key to maximizing the lifespan of the curtain wall, which can easily exceed 50 years, ensuring it remains a protective and attractive building envelope.
