We’re proud of our glass and fittings, and with a little regular care and maintenance. They will keep their excellent appearance and remain in optimal condition for many years.
Washing your Glass
When washing, use warm water and a mild soap detergent solution or proprietary glass cleaners to loosen dirt and debris.
Use a soft, grit free cloth or sponge and try to avoid washing in direct sunlight. Do NOT use scrapers or razor blades.
After washing, rinse with clean water and then dry the glass using a clean, grit-free squeegee, cloth, or paper towel.
Thoroughly dry the window gaskets, sealants, and frames to prevent water spots.
Avoid cleaning tinted and reflective glass surfaces in direct sunlight.
When washing double glazing and laminated glass, use the same procedures as above but ensure no solvents come into contact with the edge laminate interlayer or unit sealant.
Check frame drainage is not blocked as this may affect laminate and insulated glass units.
Maintaining Your Stainless Steel
Tea staining occurs most commonly within about five kilometers of the sea and becomes progressively worse closer to the marine source. Regular washing also removes deposits (such as salt) that can cause corrosion. In these instances it is recommended that cleaning is performed fortnightly.
Light corrosion of stainless steel or “tea staining” is a brown surface discoloration which does not affect the material structurally, but is unsightly.
