Cleaning/Caring Instructions
Coastal homes cleaning and maintenance steps to increase all components lifespan
Step 1: Weekly cleaning necessitated by wind driven salt laden moisture (normally done by home staff)
The exterior of the window and door frames should be rinsed down with fresh water at least weekly to reduce salt and dirt build up on the exterior surfaces of framing and components. This will also be necessary after a heavy wind, which normally brings salt laden moist air which settles on the windows and doors. This should be done with a medium pressure hose and all components and framing should be sprayed and visually inspected.
Aluminium Benefits
Our windows & doors are lightweight and durable aluminium-alloy windows and doors. They require minimal
upkeep and never require painting – the ideal blend of durability, energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Thermal performance
Aluminium windows and doors contribute an excellent thermal and sound insulation which meets current building regulations. The efficiency of thermal performance in aluminium is comparatively higher than timber or PVC. An aluminium frame which is fabricated with high-performance aluminium can exceed energy
efficiency standards and can achieve improvements in heat gain and heat loss through windows by 60%.
