Keeping it Crystal Clear: Low-Maintenance Tips for Your Stileglass Balustrade

One of the great advantages of choosing a Stileglass balustrade for your Northern Ireland home is the minimal maintenance required. Unlike wood that needs staining or metal that requires rust treatment, glass is inherently low-fuss. However, a little care goes a long way in ensuring your view stays sparkling!

Here are our top, Northern Ireland-friendly tips for maintaining that crystal-clear finish:

• The Power of Warm, Soapy Water: Skip harsh chemicals. The best cleaning solution for everyday dirt, fingerprints, and general grime is simply warm water mixed with a mild dish soap. Use a soft cloth or a squeegee to apply and clean the surface.

• The Squeegee is Your Best Friend: Given our frequent rain and dampness, mineral deposits or streaks can occasionally appear. A high-quality rubber squeegee is the most effective tool to prevent streaks and efficiently dry the glass after cleaning. Always start from the top and work your way down.

• Tackle Coastal Salt Spray: If you live near the Northern Irish coast (like Portrush or Bangor), salt spray can build up. For this, a quick weekly rinse with fresh water followed by a squeegee can prevent the salt from bonding with the glass.

• Don't Forget the Fittings: While our stainless steel fittings are highly corrosion-resistant, give them an occasional wipe down with a microfiber cloth and a gentle stainless steel cleaner (avoiding contact with the glass) to maintain their lustrous shine.

With just a few minutes of care, your Stileglass balustrade will continue to provide a stunning, transparent, and durable feature for years to come.
