Maintenance of Aluminium Frames

Aluminium frames are characterized by their high resistance to weather conditions and time.

In order to ensure the long-lasting good operation and the perfect appearance of the windows, you need to follow the following basic rules of proper maintenance and cleaning:

AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR:

  • Profiles should be washed with water and neutral detergents using a soft cloth.
  • All moving parts of the mechanism and hinges should be lubricated with grease or silicone spray after being cleaned with a soft cloth.
  • Tyres should be wiped with a soft cloth and sprayed with silicone spray or grease.

In coastal areas, maintenance is required four times a year.

 

NOT ALLOWED:

  • The cleaning of profiles with mineral products such as oil, common grease, gasoline and solvents.
  • The sanding of the frames with sandpaper, wires, metal brushes, metal spatulas or blades. There is a risk of irreparable damage to the profiles and, in the case of glazing, of scratching them, thus reducing their visual quality.
  • Washing the windows with a pressure washer or hose tap. There is a risk of permanent moisture building up at the base of the glass by attacking the glazing sealant, resulting in moisture penetrating into the glass gap.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The frame must be opened and closed using the handle, slide or lock in the correct positions as indicated by our technician upon delivery of the project.

In the case of frames with a tilting mechanism, pay particular attention to the handling of the

You may block it and the frame may not work properly.

To repair any damage, do not try to fix it yourself. Call a technician from your manufacturer.

Building materials such as: cement, lime, plaster, paints must be removed immediately.

Residues of fresh silicone should be cleaned with cotton and alcohol.
