1. Window washing at height with a Platform: Ease and Accessibility

One of the solutions favored by our window cleaners at height is the use of a cherry picker. This method offers increased accessibility to the facades of buildings, particularly those of medium size up to 12 floors. However, installing a nacelle sometimes requires municipal authorizations and permits as well as the installation of appropriate signage.

Advantages :

• Ease of use: The nacelle allows our overhead window cleaners to easily reach high areas without requiring complex infrastructure.
• Affordable cost: Compared to other methods, overhead window washing with the help of a cherry picker is often more economical, making it a popular choice for many customers.

Disadvantages:

• City permits: Municipal authorizations as well as the installation of specific signs are required, which may result in delays and additional costs in planning window washing at height.
• Limited height: Although the boom lift is effective for medium-sized buildings, it cannot be used up to 12 floors by our high-rise window cleaners.

2. Washing with Rappelling Ropes: Flexibility and Precision

For more complex structures or restricted spaces, our team of experienced professionals uses the overhead window washing technique with rope access technicians on rappel. This approach makes it possible to reach areas inaccessible by other means, offering great flexibility of intervention. Additionally, it eliminates the need for permits and signage.

Advantages :

• Flexibility of intervention: Rope access technicians can access hard-to-reach areas, such as corners and narrow surfaces, providing complete and precise overhead window washing.
• No administrative paperwork: Since abseiling window washing at height does not require the use of pods, there is no need for permits or signage, simplifying the process for our customers.

Disadvantages:

• Higher cost: Due to the specialization required from our specialist rappelling overhead window cleaners, washing with rope access technicians can be slightly more expensive than other methods.

3. Washing with a Swingstage: Simplicity and Efficiency

Finally, another option we offer is window washing at height with a flying scaffold, also known as swingstage. This method combines simplicity of installation with notable efficiency, although it requires anchoring to the roof to use.

Advantages :

• Simplified installation: The flying scaffold is generally easier to install than cherry pickers or rope access systems, reducing waiting times and associated costs.
• No administrative formalities: As with abseiling window washing at height, the use of a flying scaffold does not require a permit or signage, which saves time and effort. resources.

Disadvantages:

• Higher initial cost: Although flying scaffolding is generally less expensive than using aerial platforms in the long term, its initial installation can represent a larger investment.
• Potential risk of damage: Due to its nature, the swing scaffold presents a slightly higher risk of damaging surfaces than window washing at height abseiling, which requires special attention during its use.
