Maintenance and Care of your Windows and Doors

Windows and doors should be cleaned periodically to remove dirt, dust, and environmental pollutants. Frames can be cleaned using a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and mild detergent. Abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong chemicals should be avoided as they may damage the finish or seals. Glass surfaces should be cleaned using standard glass cleaners and a lint-free cloth to prevent streaking.

Drainage paths within the frame should also be checked and cleared of debris to ensure that water can drain effectively and does not accumulate inside the frame. Keeping these channels clear helps maintain weather resistance and prevents long-term damage.

Moving components such as hinges, handles, locking mechanisms, and restrictors should be checked regularly to ensure they operate smoothly. If necessary, light lubrication using a suitable non-corrosive lubricant can be applied to moving parts. Care should be taken not to over-lubricate, as this can attract dirt and reduce performance.

All locking systems should be tested occasionally to confirm they engage correctly. If any hardware becomes loose or difficult to operate, adjustments or repairs should be carried out by a qualified technician.

Windows and doors should be opened and closed periodically to ensure smooth operation and to confirm that locking mechanisms function correctly. Occupants should be familiar with the proper operation of all opening, locking, and safety features, including restrictors and emergency egress systems. Clear operating and maintenance instructions should be provided to users following installation. Maintenance and Care of your Aluminium Windows and Doors
