Care & Maintenance

To protect the integrity of the powder-coated surface, it's essential to avoid using strong solvents like paint thinners or abrasive cleaners.

Instead, opt for a gentle solution such as a dilution of water and a low pH dishwashing liquid paired a soft cloth or brush. If you encounter paint splashes, mastics or sealants, promptly remove them with care and rinse thoroughly post-application.

Just like any paint film, regular cleaning is key to maintaining the performance of your powder-coated extrusions. Using a soft brush and mild detergent, wash away airborne salts and pollutants every six months for external applications. In high-pollution areas like geothermal, beachfront or industrial zones, increase cleaning frequency to every three months.

If a frame's finish needs refreshing down the track, aluminium window frames can also be repainted by a professional without compromising the underlying joinery.

How often should you clean aluminium window frames?

Every six months for most homes, or every three months in beachfront, geothermal or industrial areas where airborne salts and pollutants build up faster.
