How to Maintain Your Aluminium Windows and Doors
Regular Cleaning
Clean aluminium frames with mild soap and warm water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface. Clean tracks and channels of sliding systems with a brush to remove dirt and debris.
Lubricating Hardware
Apply a silicone-based lubricant to all moving parts including hinges, handles, and sliding tracks at least twice a year. This prevents wear and ensures smooth operation.
Checking Seals and Gaskets
Inspect weather seals and gaskets annually. Look for any cracking, shrinking, or gaps. Damaged seals should be replaced promptly to maintain weather tightness.
Glass Cleaning
Use a glass cleaner and soft lint-free cloth for glass surfaces. For reflective or tinted glass, check manufacturer recommendations before using any cleaning products.
