Alumitec, Ltd. is a building services company specializing in the restoration and maintenance of curtain wall constructed of architectural metals. These metals include anodized aluminum, coated aluminum, coated steel and stainless steel. Restoration cleaning involves the removal of oxidation products, chalking, pollutants, airborne soils and silicone residue from the metal surfaces.

Regardless of geographic location, our environment contains heavy pollution and acid rain that can accelerate the weathering of the curtain wall on building facades. In addition, many buildings constructed of metal curtain wall are contemporary and unique in design with the architect incorporating features that contribute to the collection of everyday pollutants. These architectural features can include skylights, sloped rooflines and unique architectural features all of which are dirt collectors.

Restoration and maintenance of these costly curtain wall systems should not be placed in the hands of inexperienced contractors. Knowledge of the curtain wall materials and the correct methods for cleaning them are imperative if the building is to maintain its intended appearance. Alumitec, Ltd. can provide the necessary knowledge and experience to safely clean and maintain any metal curtain wall.
