Maintaining the Long-Term Durability and Aesthetic of Your Frames Requires a Few Simple Care Steps to Ensure Their Proper Functionality
Dust can easily be removed from your frames using a vacuum cleaner to eliminate most of the dirt. Use a vacuum with a soft brush or nozzle to avoid scratching the surface of the frames. Clean all surfaces this way, especially corners and hard-to-reach spots. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth or microfiber cloth.
Use a soap or detergent suitable for PVC frames and avoid harsh chemicals that could damage them. Do not use sharp objects for cleaning and be sure to clean your frames regularly—at least once a month—to maintain their insulating properties and durability.
To ensure your PVC frames operate correctly, lubrication should be done approximately once a year or adjusted based on usage. It’s important to choose the right lubricant. Silicone- or PTFE-based lubricants are ideal, as they are non-toxic and won’t damage the PVC. First, clean the hinges of any dirt and dust, then apply a few drops of lubricant. Move the hinges to distribute it evenly.
Next, lubricate the bearings to ensure smooth operation. Clean the bearings to remove any debris and apply a few drops of lubricant. Move them slightly to ensure even distribution.
Finally, if your frames have locks, they also require lubrication. Clean the locks and apply lubricant, operating the lock mechanism to spread it thoroughly.
⚠️ Avoid using excessive amounts of lubricant, as this may cause damage due to excess moisture accumulation.
Beyond cleaning and lubrication, it’s essential to frequently inspect your PVC frames to identify potential problems that may require repair or replacement.
In addition to routine cleaning and lubrication, regular inspection of your PVC frames is important.
