Facade AMC Guide India
A facade Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) is the most cost-effective way to protect your building's glass, sealant, and cladding systems — preventing expensive reactive repairs and maintaining property value. Fine Glaze provides comprehensive facade AMC programmes for buildings of all types across Pune and Mumbai.
Why Every Building Needs a Facade AMC
Building facades are complex engineered systems that deteriorate gradually over time. Without regular professional inspection and maintenance, minor issues — a hairline sealant crack, a loose gasket, a blocked drainage channel — escalate into major water ingress events that damage interiors, disrupt tenants, and require expensive emergency repairs. A facade AMC prevents this cycle.
India's climate makes facade maintenance particularly critical. Mumbai's 2,400mm annual rainfall and saline coastal air accelerate sealant deterioration. Pune's thermal cycling (from 8°C winter nights to 42°C summer afternoons) stresses facade joints with constant expansion and contraction. Pre-monsoon inspection and repair is the single most important facade maintenance activity for any Indian building.
Fine Glaze Facade AMC Scope
A standard Fine Glaze facade AMC includes two annual visits (pre-monsoon April-May and post-monsoon November) covering:
- Full facade visual inspection — all glass panels, sealant joints, capping, gaskets, drainage weep holes, anchor fixings, and hardware
- Written inspection report with photographic evidence, condition ratings, and recommended repairs prioritised by urgency
- Sealant repair — re-sealing of any deteriorating, cracked, or debonded sealant joints identified during inspection (up to a defined area per visit)
- Hardware inspection and lubrication — all operable windows, louvres, and doors checked for operation, adjusted, and lubricated
- Gasket and weatherseal check — replacement of any failed EPDM or TPE gaskets
- Drainage channel clearance — pressure-flush of all weep holes and drainage slots to maintain free drainage
- Priority emergency response — 24-48 hour response for active leaks during monsoon season outside scheduled visits

How often should a building facade be professionally inspected?
