Spring Cleaning & Hardware Care: Keeping Your Aluminium Moving Smoothly

Winter can leave dirt, debris and moisture build-up around aluminium windows and doors. Spring is the perfect time for homeowners to carry out simple maintenance checks and cleaning, helping you prepare your home for the warmer months ahead.

Aluminium is both low-maintenance and durable, with our systems being designed for long-term performance. With small amounts of regular care, you can keep your aluminium windows and doors operating smoothly and looking their best all year round.

Safe Cleaning for Powder-Coated Aluminium Finishes

The powder-coated finishes used across our aluminium systems are designed to be both durable and low maintenance. However, they’ll still benefit from some simple maintenance every so often.
Your frames and handles can usually be cleaned with just warm soapy water, a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Standard glass cleaner is suitable for glazed areas, but we recommend avoiding abrasive cleaning pads, harsh chemicals and any solvent-based cleaners. Abrasive products may damage the powder-coated finish. Homes in coastal or exposed areas may require more frequent upkeep due to the build-up of salt and debris.

Lubricating Hinges, Tracks and Moving Parts

Occasional lubrication of hinges, locks and sliding tracks will help maintain their smooth operation. Dirt and debris should be removed before lubricant is applied. Simple lubrication every one to two years should be enough to help maintain smooth and reliable operation.

Why Aluminium Remains a Low-Maintenance Choice

Aluminium systems continue to grow in popularity due in part to their minimal maintenance requirements. Endurance Aluminium systems with powder-coated or anodised finishes are
designed to resist corrosion, warping and fading. Unlike traditional materials, aluminium windows and doors do not require regular repainting.

Long-Lasting Aluminium Performance

Aluminium systems are designed for long-term performance, but they still benefit from simple, occasional upkeep. Occasional cleaning and general maintenance can help maintain smooth operation, preserve finishes and keep your windows and doors looking their best.
