AWC Magazine - Issue 95

ISSUE TEASER:

Post-construction professional Dan Fields offers his knowledge to publisher Rich Fabry in this issue of the American Window Cleaner magazine. Fabry interviews Fields about window scratches, the glass association, and post-construction cleanup tips. Window Cleaning Network's Gary Mauer also weighs in on post-construction cleanup in terms of scrapers and fabricating debris.

The International Window Cleaning Association (IWCA) continues to make headway with the Glass Association of North America (GANA). IWCA's goals are to exchange technical information, open a constant dialogue, and educate both association's respective members on issues that affect both industries.

Heat-treated glass surfaces are different and industry cleaning procedures must be followed to avoid glass damage. GANA explains how the use of glass over the years, issues of strength, safety, and thermal performance have become increasingly important for design considerations. Dallas Window Cleaning Supply's Chris Keniston praises the ingenuity of window cleaners.
