How to Maintain and Clean Glass Partitions?

Maintaining and cleaning your glass partitions is essential to keep them looking sleek and functioning properly. Regular cleaning helps maintain the appearance of the glass, while routine checks ensure that all components, including door mechanisms, remain in top working condition. Here’s a guide to help you with cleaning and maintenance.

Cleaning the Glass Panels

To keep your glass partitions clear and streak-free, use a non-abrasive glass cleaner or a mixture of water and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage the glass over time. Clean the glass regularly to remove dust, fingerprints, and smudges. For best results:

  • Use a soft, lint-free cloth or microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the glass.
  • Apply the cleaner directly to the cloth instead of spraying it onto the glass to avoid streaks.
  • Wipe in circular motions for an even finish.

Cleaning Aluminium Profiles

Aluminium profiles, which hold the glass panels in place, also require routine cleaning. Dust and dirt can accumulate in the channels, so wipe them down with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and avoid any abrasive pads or materials. If you notice any signs of wear or corrosion, address them promptly to prevent damage.

Hydraulic Door Maintenance

If your glass partition includes a hydraulic door, proper maintenance is crucial for its long-term performance. Hydraulic doors are designed to close by themselves, so it’s important not to pull or push the door, as this can damage the mechanism. Instead, allow the door to close naturally.

Routine checks are necessary to ensure the door's speed control is functioning correctly. If the door is closing too quickly or too slowly, adjust the speed control settings. Additionally, check for any oil leaks in the hydraulic mechanism and schedule a repair if necessary.

Regular Maintenance Checks

Maintaining the structural integrity of your glass partitions is just as important as cleaning them. Regular checks will help ensure everything remains secure:

  • Check for loose screws: Over time, screws in the aluminium channels can become loose. Inspect the profiles and tighten any screws as needed to keep the partitions secure.
  • Inspect gaskets: Ensure that the rubber gaskets between the glass and aluminium profiles are in good condition and haven’t worn down or come loose.
  • Glass panel stability: Check that all glass panels are securely in place and haven’t shifted. If necessary, adjust them using appropriate packers.
  • Hydraulic door speed control: Regularly test the door’s closing speed and adjust it as needed. If the door slams shut or is too slow, it may need servicing.

Additional Tips for Long-Term Care

  • Avoid using sharp objects or tools near the glass panels to prevent scratches or damage.
  • Ensure that glass panels and aluminium profiles are not exposed to excessive moisture to avoid corrosion or wear over time.
  • Periodically check for any cracks or chips in the glass. If you find any, replace the glass panel promptly to avoid further damage.
