Installation
Installation of windows
and doors is best carried out by a qualified tradesman, someone with the experience
to fix off properly and adjust the assembly to ensure trouble-free operation.
This will ensure that:
- units are installed so
as to achieve their design performance specification (eg, wind loading and
water rating);
- the basis is established
for product performance throughout the warranty period.
We stress that responsibility
for proper fixing of product rests with the installer.

Maintenance
Warranty for your product
requires maintenance in accordance with industry recommendations. These are
summarised below.
| Frame |
- Use clean water
- Thoroughly rinse
and dry with a chamois or soft cloth
- Under no circumstances
use an abrasive or caustic cleaner as these will damage the powdercoat
surface
- To help maintain
the surface shine use a light application of a non-abrasive car polish
- Cleaning should
be carried out at the following intervals:
- Rural or Suburbs:
At least 6 monthly
- Industrial

|
| Glass |
- Water and mild
detergent as necessary
- Never use a razor
blade or abrasive cleaner as they may damage the glass surface
|
| Hardware |
- Keep surface of
locks, rollers, hinges, etc, clean by use of a non-abrasive cleaner
- Periodically apply
a light lubricant spray to internal workings (eg, silicone spray)
- To maintain roller
wheels of doors and windows ensure tracks and channels are kept free
of dirt and fluff. Dirt grains will cause the roller to jam and flatten
on the track edge
