Maintenance of tempered glass railings and fences
Tempered glass panels add a touch of elegance to your home, but to keep it looking beautiful and transparent over time, quick and easy maintenance is required .
Unlike wood or metal fences, maintaining glass is relatively simple, but there are a few tips to prevent stains and dirt buildup.

- A microfiber cloth or squeegee helps prevent streaks when drying.
- Avoid abrasive products that could scratch the glass surface.
- You can apply a rain-repellent protective coating that will cause water to bead up and delay its cleaning.
3. Maintenance of stainless steel components
- Stainless steel fasteners should be cleaned with a specially designed product. This will clean and leave a protective film on the surface.
- Check that the screws and anchors remain tight to prevent the panels from sagging.
4. Prevention of scratches, breakage and deterioration of glass
- Avoid placing heavy objects against your glass panels.
- If you have children, make sure they do not use hard toys nearby to avoid any impact on the glass.
- Do not aim watering nozzles at glass.
