Project Details

The Atrium is one of Crawleys premier office buildings located in a prime position close to Gatwick Airport

Unfortunately the building had not be cleaned for a good number of years and was covered in a green hue

The glass had become weathered

Client

TUI

Showcase

Requirement

The building needed to look as good as new again as the landlords were complaining

The coloured window frames had faded due to sunlight over exposure

Glass had oxidised and needed restoring

Cladding was extremely dirty and was covered in moss & lichens

Solution

Purple Rhino surveyed the building and it was decided that the whole building needed sanitising as there was a great deal of moss and lichens growing on the surfaces

By applying a biocide and then steam cleaning the whole of the facade was the best way to restore the cladding as steam cleaning is a gentle and safe way to clean this type of surface

The glass needed renovating and a suitable glass renovator was used and applied by hand

The red window frames had become dull and were restored back to their original colour

Ongoing solutions

Purple Rhino now maintains this building by cleaning the whole exterior surface with purified de ionised water every three month’s and applying a fungicidal wash where needed.
