How to Properly Maintain Your Aluminium Sliding Doors

Aluminium sliding doors
Maintaining your aluminium sliding doors is an important step after your big purchase – not only to ensure they function properly, as they should, but to ensure they last as long as they should. 

Considering that aluminium doors are relatively easy to maintain, there are just a few things you should do to keep them in top notch condition.



·        Use a mild detergent and water:
Stay clear of any harsh chemicals containing chlorine, ketones, hydrocarbons or esters as these may damage the frame’s coating. Instead, use a mild detergent, water and a soft sponge to clean your aluminium sliding door frame.

·        Keep a maintenance record:
Depending on the area in which you live, it may be necessary to clean your doors every month, three months or even once a year. Locations close to coastal areas may need more regular maintenance due to corrosive salty air, as opposed to more secluded areas where pollution is minimal. For guarantee purposes, it may be necessary to keep track of when last proper maintenance was done.

·        Make use of a non-abrasive liquid cream cleaner:
As with any surface, touch stains may occur, in which case you’ll need a stronger cleaning solution to get rid of those marks. The best product to use would be a non-abrasive liquid cream cleaner or paraffin.

·        Lubricate the track:
To ensure your door slides as smoothly as it should, lubricate your track regularly with silicone spray to prolong your system’s life.

·        Vacuum once a month:
As with any door track, debris may accumulate in the hard-to-reach places. The best way to get rid of unwanted debris and dust is by vacuuming the track at least once a month – keeping your system well-maintained, and running smoothly.
