GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance of mechanical components will prolong the life of the window or door. This maintenance should be carried out routinely twice a year. ( more often if the product is close to the sea )
- All upvc or aluminium should be washed down with warm soapy water using a soft clean cloth and dried thoroughly.
- Use upvc cream cleaner, applied with a soft clean cloth.
- Do not use chemical or abrasive products.
- Locks and hinges should be wiped clean, removing grime and old lubricant.
- Re-apply silicone spray lubricant to moving parts.
- Check all screws and fixings are secure and adjusted properly.
- Special attention should be paid to keep drainage channels free and clear of blockages.
