Installing and replacing glass in high-rise buildings is a difficult job. In fact, we'd go so far as to say that it's one of the most difficult in the world of architectural glazing.
In this article, we take a look at some of the most common issues surrounding glass installation in large buildings. We consider the risks and challenges involved, the most common reasons why it needs replacing and the types of materials needed.
But before we go any further, it’s important to make clear that nothing in this article constitutes official advice. Building regulations are readily available and should be consulted before embarking on any high-rise installation project.
With that out of the way, we hope this article gives you some insight into one of the lesser-explored sides of commercial glass installation.
Glass installed in large or high-rise buildings is like any other kind of glass in that it’s vulnerable to the weather, maintenance accidents and poor glass hygiene. However, the size and height of the windows can exacerbate these three factors.
The higher up you go, the more intense the wind, rain and sun can be. This means that weather damage can be more deleterious than on your average domestic property.
