Facade cleaning with facadeBRUSH in use at IKEA



Facade cleaning made easy: The facade cleaning device in use at IKEA Karlsruhe

Even if you can't see it on the façade of the 20,000 square meter IKEA in Karlsruhe with its dark blue, the white border at the top edge and the catchy yellow, weather influences and exhaust fumes leave their mark. The new building from 2020 is exposed to the elements, which leads to visible soiling over time.

The challenge of façade cleaning

The company Schneider Fassaden, which was responsible for the outer skin of the building (4,000 square meters of glass façade and 16,000 square meters of metal façade), therefore decided to put the cleaning out to tender. Manual cleaning of such a large area would not only be extremely time-consuming, but also costly and challenging to implement.

This is where the facade cleaning device comes into play: the perfect application for the facadeBRUSH v-line model from hyCLEANER, which was specially developed for large facades.
