AMIA RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR WINDOWS, DOORS & BALUSTRADING

MAINTENANCE OF GLASS
All glass surfaces should be kept clean by prompt removal of all dirt. Clean water should be used and in some instances the addition of a small amount of mild detergent would be of some benefit. Thoroughly wash off any detergent residue with clean water. Do not under any circumstances use any form of abrasive cleaner as this may cause damage to the glass. Lightly sponge off any stubborn dirt being careful not to scratch the glass.

Frequency of cleaning should be similar to that specified for powder coated surfaces (see below).

FREQUENCY OF CLEANING:
Cleaning required is dependant on the severity of the environment.

Rural/Suburban Environments
The maximum period between cleaning should never be more than six (6) months.

Coastal/Industrial Environments
More frequent cleaning is necessary and the maximum period between cleaning should never be more than three (3) months.

Under the worst conditions involving heavy grime deposition and atmospheric pollution (e.g. sulphur compounds or salts) more frequent cleaning is advisable e.g. monthly if deterioration of the coating is to be prevented.

MAINTENANCE OF HARDWARE
General periodic maintenance is required on all hardware supplied such as locks, hinges, catches, rollers, closers and the like.

The external finish of all hardware must be kept clean by removing any harmful residue, especially salt spray, from the surface using a non-abrasive cleaning agent.

Internal workings of locks, catches etc, should be kept in good working order by applying a light spray of lubricant similar to WD4O or RP7. Care should be taken to ensure that any finished surfaces (e.g. paint etc.), in close proximity to the hardware being maintained, are well protected to avoid damage to the finish.
