Fabricated Doors / Screenwork only - See separate section for electrical drive unit covers.
Atmospheric deposits, sulphurous acids, carbon dioxides and other chemicals in the air
will discolour and tarnish all metalwork, and in time cause corrosion. Regular maintenance
prevents atmospheric deposits building up and attacking the metals.
Anodized Aluminium
.
Wash with mild soap and water or a mild detergent solution, rinse down with clean water
and dry off with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Apply a liquid wax polish to protect the
metal from the atmosphere.
AVOID : Metal polish of any kind, abrasive cleaners, strong alkalines or acids, and the use
of ammonia based cleaners for washing windows as they can cause staining of the
surrounding framework.
Recommended frequency - WEEKLY.
P
olyester Powder Coated Aluminium.
As with any organic coating, in order to retain the aesthetic properties, it is recommended
that the coating be regularly maintained. Wash at intervals of not more than three months
using a solution of warm water and mild detergent. (e.g. 5 % Teepol solution or mild
washing up liquid.) All surfaces should be cleaned using a soft cloth or sponge but nothing
harsher than a natural bristle brush.
AVOID : Abrasive cleaners or cleaning solutions such as ketones, esters, or alcohols.
Recommended frequency - THREE MONTHLY (depending on environment.)
Polished or Satin Stainless Steel.
Wash away grime and grit with luke warm soapy water or a mild detergent solution using
a nailbrush for awkward crevices or corners. Repeat with clean water. Dry and polish with
a soft duster or chamois leather.
AVOID : Metal polishes, and all abrasives, toxic materials, acids, strong alkalines, nylon
pads, wire wool.
Recommended frequency - WEEKLY.
Glass.
Wash as often as possible with clean water and a chamois leather, scrim or squeegee,
and dry off. The occasional application of a proprietary window cleaner or polish can be
beneficial providing it does not contain ammonia. Advise may be given by a reputable
window cleaning company.
