New Zealand’s diverse climate and environmental conditions can place unique demands on your windows and doors. With a simple routine of regular care and maintenance, you can keep them performing at their best for years to come. Proper maintenance not only preserves their appearance but also ensures long-lasting durability, smooth operation, and reliable performance in all weather conditions.
Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, but certain environmental conditions and contaminants can cause staining or discolouration over time. Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will help preserve its appearance and ensure it continues to look its best.
Most hardware and entry doors feature a durable powder-coated finish for long-lasting protection and performance. To keep the finish in excellent condition, follow the recommended Care & Maintenance guidelines for powder-coated surfaces. For newly installed entry doors, be sure to remove the protective film after installation.
Aluminium joinery is low maintenance—not maintenance-free. Regularly cleaning your aluminium windows and doors helps preserve their appearance, ensures smooth operation, and extends their lifespan for years to come.
Clean your aluminium windows and doors using a mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth or quality soft-bristled brush. A gentle dishwashing liquid is an excellent choice for routine cleaning. Wash the entire frame thoroughly, rinse with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots or streaks.
Avoid using solvent-based cleaners, as they can damage the powder-coated finish of your windows and doors. Products containing petrol, acetates, paint thinners, Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), abrasive cleaners, or harsh chemicals should never be used. Highly acidic, alkaline, alcohol-based, or other aggressive household cleaning products are also not recommended, as they may affect the finish and reduce the lifespan of the coating.
