Home Ideas & Advice : Care & Maintenance

Regular care helps to:

• maintain a high-quality appearance
• support the smooth operation of moving elements
• protect surfaces and materials
• preserve long-term living comfort
• retain the value of your home

Modern solutions made from PVC-U, PVC-U-aluminium or aluminium are designed to be easy and convenient to clean.

Cleaning surfaces gently

In most cases, all you need to clean frames and surfaces is:

• lukewarm water
• a soft cloth or sponge
• a mild cleaning agent

Stubborn dirt should be removed as early as possible to keep surfaces looking their best.

Don’t forget seals and hardware

In addition to visible surfaces, seals and moving components also deserve attention.

Regular visual inspections help identify dirt or wear early and support reliable long-term performance.

For frequently used elements such as balcony and patio doors or sliding systems, periodic checks of moving parts are particularly recommended.

Care & long-term value for lasting comfort

Well-maintained windows, doors and sliding solutions make an important contribution to a comfortable home. They help preserve functionality, appearance and performance for many years.

Regular care can also help to:

• reduce energy loss
• support a comfortable indoor climate
• protect materials over the long term
• extend the lifespan of the elements

Cleaning glass without streaks

For clear views and a well-maintained appearance, the following approach is recommended:

• remove loose dirt and dust
• clean the glass using water and a mild cleaner
• dry with a squeegee
• wipe edges and corners with a lint-free cloth

What to avoid

Not every well-intentioned measure is beneficial in the long run.

Avoid using:

• aggressive cleaning products
• abrasive sponges or steel wool
• solvent-based cleaners
• excessive force
• or making adjustments to hardware yourself

If in doubt, consult a qualified specialist.
