Aluminium windows are one of the best investments you can make for your property. These windows are very cost effective, offer numerous functional benefits and are highly durable. The best part about owning an aluminium window is that you rarely have to maintain or clean it; but alas, the time will come when your aluminium windows will need a bit of tender loving care.
Here are three quick and easy tips that will help you make sure that your aluminium frames are always beautiful and maintain their look.
Location and elbow grease
Even though aluminium is resistant to corrosive material, it’s still susceptible to corrosion in the long term. You’ll want to keep your windows in an area that is free of moisture, so that you don’t have to worry about water damage, like mould or rotting.
You will also want to take the time to clean your aluminium frames every now and then to keep them glistening. You should vacuum them out monthly, or at least once every six months, just to make sure that they stay clean.
Don’t be shy, it’s just coating
Another thing that you will want to do to make sure that your frames are always looking great is to put on a coat of sealant or paint to keep them fresh and shiny. We recommend that you do this at least once a year. Most aluminium windows are fitted in an efficient way that creates nearly air-tight seals for your home, so paint is the only coating your frames will really need.
Be gentle
Aluminium window frames are strong, but this doesn’t mean that they can resist high forces like hammering or projectiles. If you want to keep your frames in peak condition, you should avoid damaging them or putting them in harms way; this means your kids shouldn’t be throwing around cricket balls where your windows are located, make them aware of this.
