Maintenance

When properly maintained Airlite products will provide you with many years of reliable, quality service.

Windows and Doors

• Clean all tracks on sliding doors and sliding windows with a brush or vacuum cleaner.
• Regularly check and adjust sliding doors and windows where necessary to prevent scrapping damage to the sill.
• Clear all sill drainage slots.

Windows and Doors – aluminium and hardware

• Powder coated surface should be cleaned using a soft cloth or sponge in a solution of warm water and non-abrasive detergent every 6 to 12 months.
• In industrial, marine, alkaline or acidic environments the normal frequency of cleaning should be once every 3 months.

Windows and Doors – timber

• Please consult a reputable paint or stain supplier for specific advice on the most suitable surface preparation, application and type of paint/stain system to use, so that you achieve the finish which you require.
• Airlite is not responsible for any surface finishing defects on finishes not applied by Airlite.

Glass

• To clean, lightly spray the face of the glass with a reputable brand of glass cleaner, following the manufacturer’s on pack instructions.
• Alternatively, add a few drops of methylated spirits to a clean, nonabrasive damp cloth then wipe the glass. Buff with a clean lint free cloth for a streak free finish.
• Eucalyptus oil, allowed to penetrate, will assist the removal of adhesive labels.
• Diamond rings should not be worn when cleaning glass. Toughened safety glass is subject to breakage from scratches.
• A single edge safety blade can be used with extreme care to remove labels and spillages from glass. Use at an acute angle to the glass in a single motion. Do not draw back over the glass.
• Take extra care when cleaning coated high performance glass. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning instructions or contact an Airlite sales consultant for further information.
