We recommend that all Glasdon Buildings are permanently sited and fixed down to a prepared
concrete base at the time of delivery using the fixing bolts supplied.
Installation guidelines are contained in Chapter 3. To ensure satisfactory operation of door locks
after installation, it is very important to keep door frames square and level during base fixing.
If a panel form delivery option has been arranged for assembly by yourselves following agreement
with our Sales and Technical Department, you will find a comprehensive instruction booklet enclosed
with this manual.
If your Building has been manufactured to a customised design there should also be a CAD drawing
of the layout enclosed for your reference.
If your Building has been fitted with sanitaryware such as wash hand basins, sinks, WC’s and water
heaters, you may have opted for the relevant pipework and fittings to be pre-installed at our factory
rather than making your own arrangements with a local plumber. The final site connection to the
water supply and waste system should always be arranged locally by yourselves and all pre-installed
pipework and fittings thoroughly checked on site before use.
When external shelves and canopies are supplied it may not always be possible to fit these items at
our factory because of delivery width restrictions. In such cases the items will be supplied loose
within the Building ready for simple site fitting by yourselves using the instruction sheet enclosed.
In the event that installation of your Glasdon Building does not take place at the time of delivery,
suitable temporary storage arrangements must be made by yourselves to prevent damage being
sustained either by adverse weather conditions or other influences.
Glasdon Manufacturing Limited cannot accept responsibility for:
1. Damage to Glasdon Buildings which are not permanently sited and installed at the time
of delivery.
2. Damage caused by insecure storage or careless handling.
3. Re-delivery costs due to failure to install immediately or provide adequate storage.
For Buildings which are fitted with an electrical installation we usually issue the original factory test
certificate separately by post to your correspondence address. You will also find a copy of the
certificate enclosed with this manual.
General technical information and individual operating instructions are enclosed for your future
reference for the electrical components fitted within your Building, e.g. consumer units, electrical fan
convector heaters and lighting.
The final site connection to the electric mains supply, along with the earthing of any fitted
sanitaryware and pipework etc, should be arranged locally by yourselves.
We recommend that all electrical installations are inspected annually by a suitably qualified and
competent person.

All Glasdon products are manufactured using only the highest quality materials and are designed to
provide the very best value for money with years of trouble-free service. To help preserve the life of
your Glasdon Building and keep it in pristine condition, we recommend that regular cleaning is
arranged as part of your routine site cleaning programme.
The frequency of cleaning will depend on the prevailing site conditions, e.g. industrial and marine
environments are likely to need more frequent cleaning than rural environments.

Routine Inspection of Moving Parts
During the routine cleaning process we recommend inspection and cleaning of all moving parts such
as external security shutters, sliding windows, door handles, locks and hinges. The application of a
proprietary light oil to items such as security shutters, door lock mechanisms and hinges will also help
to maintain their efficient operation.
Regular cleaning and lubrication where appropriate is essential to prevent an accumulation of
dirt and debris which can be detrimental to most moving parts and cause irreversible damage if
left unattended.
Rainwater Management Systems
Beacon and Warrior Buildings which are supplied for external use have an integral rainwater
management system with fascia guttering and a corner post downspout arrangement. To prevent
any possible blockage and the build up of rainwater on the roof, we recommend periodic inspection
and cleaning of the guttering and the ‘leafguard’ located at the top of each downspout.
Window Glazing Film
Upon delivery of your Building you may find that any tinted and mirror finish glazing film has a
slightly cloudy appearance and contains small surface water bubbles. This is a normal part of the
curing process and it usually clears up within a few weeks of delivery, but may take longer in
colder weather.
Please allow a minimum of 28 days from delivery before cleaning the glazing film and do not
attempt to ‘push out’ any surface defects during this curing period.
Wash with a sponge and warm water containing a mild soapy detergent and rinse immediately with
clean water.
Air Conditioning Systems
If an Air Conditioning System is installed in your Building, the commissioning together with a 12
month maintenance and service agreement (via a third party provider) are normally included as
standard. To ensure the safe and efficient operation of this equipment beyond the initial 12 month
period, we strongly recommend that you make your own arrangements for an ongoing maintenance
and service agreement directly with the existing provider or with an alternative qualified and
competent source.
Warranty
Our standard warranty period is 12 months from the date of delivery and this covers the cost of any
parts and labour required to rectify defects in materials and workmanship supplied by Glasdon. This
warranty does not extend to defects caused by abuse, exceptional usage and modifications or work
undertaken by others.
Spares & Repairs
For replacement and spare parts and repair work etc please contact our Service Department.
CAUTION!
1. For mild soapy detergents we recommend using proprietary household cleaners (or a car body
shampoo for GRP) to the concentration as detailed on the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Do not use organic solvents or abrasive cleaners which may cause surface damage or
colour fading.
3. Always clean from top to bottom and avoid overcleaning or scrubbing which can do more
harm than good.
