Maintenance Tips

Regular washing is the key to looking smart

To maintain the good looks of your powder coated aluminium windows, each window and door unit needs regular washing all over – not just the parts that are sheltered from the rain. A regular wash keeps your investment in smart condition.

Unless you are close to the seaside or are in a similar harsh environment, such as near an industrial area, washing down your windows every 3 months should be sufficient. Simply use a good quality, soft-bristled window washing brush as sold by general hardware stores. Some brushes have in-built detergent dispensers and connect directly to the garden tap. These brushes make it really easy to rinse off the detergent bubbles, which is a very important part of the care process.

If you choose to wash the windows by hand, simply use a dilute solution of mild pH-neutral liquid hand dishwashing detergent (available from your supermarket) and mixed in the same way you would wash your dishes. Be sure to rinse off the window with a gentle spray from the garden hose, and dry the glass to avoid any marks developing.
