How to Maintain a Glass Railing

Maintain a glass railing with a soft microfibre cloth, clean water, and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Rinse away sand and dried particles before wiping so they do not scratch the surface. Dry metal profiles and, outdoors, inspect seals, drainage, and signs of corrosion.

What is the correct cleaning method?

Work from top to bottom and use separate cloths for glass and metal. Avoid cleaning glass heated by direct sun because the product may dry unevenly. After washing, dry the edges and the areas around holders.

Which products are suitable?

Use a neutral product without abrasive particles. Avoid wire sponges, scouring powders, sharp scrapers, strong acids, and chlorine-based products unless the system manufacturer allows them. Follow the instructions for any special coating.

How can scratches be prevented?

Do not rub dry dust and do not place tools on the railing. Remove construction residue according to its type without using a metal blade on the glass. During renovation, protect the panels with a clean and stable barrier.

What should be done in winter?

Remove ice and salt deposits with lukewarm water, without impact or boiling water. After snowfall, check that drainage openings are clear. Do not use salt or de-icing products on profiles and seals unless the system is designed for them.

When is a professional inspection needed?

If a holder is loose, a panel moves, a crack appears, water enters the profile, or a seal is damaged, stop applying loads and request an inspection. Do not tighten fixings at random.
