Title: Ballast trays Help needed!!!!
Post by: WCE on June 12, 2008, 09:51:12 am
Hi I have been asked to quote on a giant job. I am not able to post pictures due to the high level of security at the place. One part I am a bit stuck on are the ballast trays. (these are the bits of glass that run around the edge of stairs, walkways etc  - Like in a shopping centre) The total height is 4 floors. Can anyone come to the rescue and tell me how to clean the outside of them? It is not poss to get a cherry picker in there. If anyone has a pro 10 and are interested in the job then let me know or if any one has a suggestion of an alternative then please tell me!!!

Thanks in advance
Pete

I did wonder about that. What do you do about the metal discs  that protrude out of the glass? There are 4 in total, one in each corner if you know what i mean?!
