2.5.1 MAINTENANCE & CARE
• Protect the doors/ windows while fit out interior work. Window glasses
may damage, break with any impact.
• Ensure sliding door tracks are clean and free from debris. Proper
drainage is important to the lifetime of your windows and doors.
Remove any debris clogging drain holes. Use a mild soap, warm water
and a quality soft-bristled brush or cloth. Dishwashing liquid is always
handy and works well. Simply wash the entire frame with soapy water.
Use clean water to rinse, and dry to avoid streaking.
• Never use solvent cleaners as they can damage the powder coating.
Common solvents like petrol, acetates, thinners, and Methyl Ethyl
Ketone are very damaging. Highly acidic, alkali and many common
household solvent or alcohol-based cleaners are also not
recommended.
• Use warm water and soap to wash your glass. You can also use a
specialised glass cleaner. Use a cloth, soft bristled brush, or sponge.
Then rinse with clean water. Remember to dry your glass with a clean
cloth, paper towel or grit-free squeegee to finish. It is not clean until it
is dry.
• Do not use anything that could scratch your glass, like scrapers or
razor blades.
• Wash your hardware every month with a mild cleaner, like
dishwashing liquid mixed with warm water. Adjust and lubricate your
hardware as directed by supplier. Clean your hinges and window stays
at the same time as your aluminium joinery, with a mild cleaner. Door
closers should be checked and maintained. If doors are slamming
shut, adjust, or consult your supplier.
• Check for and replace all damaged components of your window and
door system. This includes seals, gaskets, rubbers, and rollers.
• Do not force the door system.
• Do not bang the doors.
10 | P a g e
• Check for silicon sealant application from the external side. The gaps
in the walls & frame should be sealed properly with silicon sealant to
avoid water seepage inside.

gasket is in proper condition.

removers, household vinegar and cleaning agents containing acetic
acid. They will attack the surface and leave the fitting looking dull and
scratched. Because the formulae of commercially available cleaners
are changed frequently.

damage the flooring and cause leakage. Also, all the wash basins and
the kitchen sink should be periodically cleaned to avoid blockage.
