hi guys did a car showroom today & the manager said he was'nt happy about pointed ladder on glass as glass may fall out or break,i got out of it by saying all weight was transfered to groung and glass was only really ballancing ladder.i've been doing this way for years and he may be right just never thought of it,do you think the glass could break i always thought it would'nt. what way do some of ye do inside work like this.

Hi woodsy normally we use wfp for these sorts of jobs - if however they want them done trad and we can't reach it we use the unger pole with a swivel top - works a treat - just don't use a lot of water on the applicator.  Easy peasy.

HI WOODSY

IF YOU NEED TO SHOW THE GUY THAT NO WEIGHT IS ON THE WINDOW , GO UP A FEW TREDS AND GENTLEY PUT YOU FINGERS UNDER THE LADDER AND PULL YOURSELF AWAY FROM THE WINDOW , THIS HAS ALWAYS IMPRESSED MY CUSTOMERS AND PUTS THERE MINDS AT REST
 TRY IT  ITS SO EASY

JUST KEEP THE POINTER ALITTLE MORE UPRIGHT

MOST LARGE PAINS OF GLASS A TOUGHTEN AND IT NEARLY IMPOSSABLE TO BRAKE A DOUBLE GLAZED UNIT

HOPE THIS HELPS

Yea, I remember years ago when my mum and dad owned a shop, bread man was a bit too lazy and decided to reverse into the the window once.  Massive panes of glass they were.

Obviously worried that it might have been weakened they called out a glazier (I think thats what they called him), would have been easy money as the shop was a good un and it could easily afford the odd big expense.   Instead the glazier said "safe as houses"  and gave the window the biggest punch I have ever seen!!!

Cleaning em, well to be honest I think using a swivel squeegy and aplicator on a pole looks like a heck of a lot of fun and I would pay to have a go on a really big window, am I the only soft idiot that feels this?

Hi Woodsy,i can`t think why you are using a ladder to do the windows on a carshowroom,i do a few carshowrooms and use an applicator,an unger swivel squeegee and pole easiest,quickest and safest way,Gaz

I Know what you mean about the metal sockets,i do a showroom with them no probs,well after 18 years i recon i`m good,practice makes perfect  ,Gaz

don't forget - its 20ft up, no one expects a perfect job if you cannot reach it.
