Care & Maintenance Langford Windows are manufactured from quality materials and finishes. Proper maintenance of our products will ensure they continually operate to their designed efficiency. The following care and maintenance procedures are given as general advice to both the builder and the homeowner.
Aluminium Frames - Storage When frames are delivered to site a designated area should be allocated for correct storage. Frames should be stored in a secure, clean & dry area away from cement, lime, paint, acid etc. As these items are likely damage the finish. During installation they must be protected from building fall-out such as wet plaster, mortar, paint and welding splatter. Wet plaster and mortar should be removed immediately and the soiled area washed down with ample quantities of clean water.
During Construction
When building all sills should be protected from planks, wheelbarrows and heavy traffic. Tracks should be kept clean and free of debris. All aluminium frames must be installed plumb and level. During brick cleaning avoid acid contact with aluminium frames. This is the most common cause of damage to the finish. Manufacturers stickers should remain on glass to avoid breakage and possible injury.
Locks & Catches
To ensure efficient operation all locks should be kept clean and free from obstructions such as curtains, blinds and cords.
Glass
To clean glass in windows and doors rub down the entire area with a soft clean cloth soaked in a solution of warm water and mild soap or liquid detergent, then polish dry using a clean lint free cloth. Note: Before cleaning high performance glass, specific instruction should be sort.
Aluminium & Metal Frames
Regular washing or wiping down of aluminium internal and external frames will help maintain their appearance and prolong their life. External frames should be washed with a mild detergent and clean water. Frames exposed to salt or industrial pollutants should be washed every few months. Under no circumstances should you use harsh detergents, bleaches, scourers or any other abrasive cleaners. All tracks should be kept clean and free of grit to ensure smooth operation. Ensure that drain holes in window and door sills are kept clear of any obstructions to maintain maximum drainage.
