Windows
Keeping your windows in excellent condition is straightforward. We recommend cleaning frames and glass at least twice per year using warm soapy water and a soft cloth. This prevents dirt and debris from building up around the frame and seals.
Avoid abrasive cleaners or products containing ammonia, as these can damage finishes and metal components.
If your property is located in a more exposed area, such as coastal or high-traffic locations, more frequent cleaning may be beneficial.
Doors
Composite, uPVC and aluminium doors require very little maintenance. Simply clean the frame and panels with warm soapy water to maintain their appearance.
To ensure smooth locking performance:
Lift the handle fully when locking
Turn the key to engage the multi-point locking system
Apply a light lubricant to the locking cylinder once a year
This will help prevent stiffness and maintain long-term reliability.
uPVC Profiles
Our Rehau uPVC profiles are durable, weather-resistant and easy to maintain. Marks can be removed with a damp cloth, and the material is designed to withstand the harshest UK weather conditions.
When cleaning, check that drainage channels are clear of debris to allow rainwater to filter away correctly and prevent moisture issues.
Locks & Hinges
For optimal security and smooth operation, lubricate locks and hinges annually using a suitable light lubricant. If hinges feel slightly loose over time, simply tighten the fixing screws. This quick adjustment helps maintain alignment, security and ease of use.
Hardware & Metal Fixtures
Handles, letterplates and other hardware should be wiped clean regularly to prevent surface build-up. A mild detergent followed by a soft cloth polish will help maintain their finish. Keeping these components clean ensures your entrance door continues to make a strong first impression.
