Why This System

Tateyama Advance products in commercial spaces are often interior-facing - lobby display cases, partition glazing, commercial fitting frames. These surfaces face different soil types than exterior windows: fingerprints, interior dust, and cleaning product residue from building maintenance are the primary challenges rather than weather exposure.

Pro Tips

On interior commercial display glass, spray the cleaning solution onto the T-bar rather than directly onto the glass - this prevents overspray onto display products below the glass

What NOT To Do

Do not use abrasive pads on aluminium profiles or glass
Do not use ammonia-based cleaners on interior display glass - ammonia leaves a haze on glass viewed at close range
Do not use solvent-based cleaners on any aluminium profile
