Aluminium is a premium choice for exterior applications, its strong, durable, and designed to stand the test of time. While it’s a low-maintenance material compared to timber or steel, it still benefits from a simple care routine to preserve its appearance and performance.
Whether it’s a balustrade, pool fence, or louvre roof, the care and maintenance process is much the same, ensuring your installation continues to look as good as the day it was installed.
Routine Cleaning
Regular cleaning helps remove environmental build-up such as dust, dirt, salt, or grime.
The frequency of cleaning depends on your environment:
In Urban areas: every three months
In Rural areas: every six months
In Industrial and marine environments (within 1km of the sea): rinse with cold water monthly, and a warm water detergent wash every six months
This simple routine helps prevent staining or corrosion and maintains the finish for years to come.
Step-by-Step Care Guide
To clean and maintain your aluminium exterior products:
- Remove loose deposits
- Gently remove any loose dirt or debris with a wet sponge.
- Use a non-abrasive soft brush and a mild household detergent solution to clean away dust, salt, and other surface deposits.
For anodised finishes:
- If your product has an anodised surface with greasy deposits or stubborn grime, wipe it down with a soft cloth dipped in white spirit, turpentine, or kerosene, then finish by drying with a clean rag.
- Finish by rinsing the surface with plenty of clean, fresh water to remove all residue.
Visual Inspection
Performing a regular visual inspection every few months helps identify minor issues early, such as loose fittings or missing parts, allowing these to be addressed before they become more serious. This proactive approach ensures both safety and longevity.
Long-Term Performance
Proper care not only protects your aluminium products but also enhances their appearance and lifespan. A consistent cleaning routine and quick response to wear will ensure your balustrades, pool fencing, or louvre systems remain strong, functional, and visually striking for years to come.
