一: Regular Cleaning and Inspection: Ensuring Permeability and Stability
A: Wipe with a neutral cleaner and soft cloth
It is recommended to clean the glass surface at least once a week. Use neutral cleaner (e.g. special glass cleaner) with a soft cloth or sponge for wiping to avoid corrosion of glass or metal parts by acid and alkali cleaners. For stubborn stains, you can use a bamboo spatula or resin spatula to gently scrape away, but do not use metal tools to avoid causing scratches.
Case sharing: Hainan, a neighborhood through the regular use of neutral cleaners for maintenance, glass permeability long-term to maintain more than 90%.
B: Check connections and seals
1. Metal connectors: Screws, buckles and other fixings should be checked quarterly to see if there is any looseness or rust, and ageing parts should be replaced in a timely manner to prevent structural hazards.
2. Seals: The seals at the glass joints should be checked regularly. If the sealing strip is found to be aging, deformed or falling off, it should be replaced immediately. According to the data, the replacement of the sealing strip can make the waterproof performance increase by 50%.
二:Anti-rust and anti-corrosion treatment: extend the service life of metal parts
A. Material selection and surface coating
1. Choose 316 stainless steel or galvanized steel as the support frame, both materials have better salt spray resistance than ordinary steel, especially suitable for coastal or high humidity environment.
2. Thermal spraying zinc/aluminum coating or Dacromet treatment (salt spray resistance test over 1000 hours) on metal parts can achieve up to 30 years of anti-corrosion life. Case in point: the locust flyover uses stainless steel laminated glass parapets reinforced with structural adhesive and stainless steel decorative strips, significantly reducing the frequency of maintenance.
B. Regular coating maintenance
It is recommended that every two years on the metal surface of the closed paint or anti-rust oil spraying to enhance its oxidation resistance. If there is already rust on the surface, it should be sanded and de-rusted first, and then painted with anti-rust primer and top coat to avoid directly covering the original rust.
三:Special environmental adaptability maintenance
A. Coastal or high salt spray areas
Increase cleaning frequency to twice a week to remove salt residues and apply protective agents to form a corrosion-resistant film. Increase salt spray protection by 6 to 20 times by treating metal parts with a stainless steel passivate to increase their resistance to chloride ion attack.
B. Around high humidity or chemical plants
1. Use waterproof adhesive to fill the U-shaped bottom groove and design a 3° slope water guide groove to prevent the accumulation of water from corroding the metal frame.
2. Regularly patch the glass joints to prevent rainwater from seeping in and causing galvanic corrosion.
四:Glass panels and structural safety maintenance
1. Broken glass should be replaced in time. Action should be taken as soon as cracks, breakage or deformation are detected, as untreated breakage will make the safety performance of the parapet reduced by 30%. For high-rise buildings, it is recommended that wind pressure tests be conducted once a year to ensure structural stability under extreme weather conditions.
2. For UV protection, outdoor parapets can be fitted with sunshades or UV film, which can reduce problems of glass embrittlement or discoloration caused by prolonged exposure to the sun.
五:Technical upgrade and long-term maintenance program
1. Adoption of U-shaped groove design: This design replaces the traditional U-shaped groove and fixes the glass by mechanical clamping, which effectively avoids the electrochemical corrosion problem that may be caused by the contact between self-tapping nails and aluminum profiles.
2. Sandblasting process to treat the grooves: this process enhances the adhesion of the coating and improves the drainage performance, thus reducing the risk of alkali formation.
Digital Inspection System: Providing regular maintenance reports and early warning services for B2B customers can significantly reduce long-term maintenance costs and save more than 50%.
Conclusion: A double investment in safety and aesthetics
Maintenance of glass parapets requires a combination of scientific process + technological innovation, from cleaning, rust prevention to structural optimization to form a closed loop. Choosing a supplier with corrosion-resistant coatings, seal-enhanced designs and specialized maintenance services can significantly improve project safety and economics.
