Door Aftercare

uPVC and aluminium doors are renowned for their durability and low maintenance. However, to keep them looking fresh and functioning smoothly, regular cleaning is essential.

• Use a soft cloth with water mixed with soap or washing-up liquid.
• For greasy stains, apply washing-up liquid with minimal water and rinse thoroughly.
• Treat stubborn marks with specialised uPVC cleaners.
• Avoid harsh products like glass cleaners, bleach, abrasive agents, steel wool, scouring pads, or razor blades, which can damage surfaces.

Timber doors offer classic beauty and warmth but require more attentive care due to their natural composition.

• Clean with a soft cloth dipped in soapy water, avoiding harsh chemicals.
• Refrain from using glass cleaner, bleach, abrasive pads, or sharp implements.
• Inspect the wood surface coating annually and, if necessary, reapply microporous stain or paint to protect against weathering.

Remember that wood naturally expands and contracts, and features like knots and grain variations are part of its charm.

Glass elements add elegance but need delicate cleaning to avoid scratches or damage.

• Use a soft cloth and mild soapy water.
• For deeper cleaning, a commercial cleaning solution or cream is recommended—always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and keep the solution off the door frame.
• Never use abrasive pastes, steel wool, scouring pads, or razor blades.

The functionality of your doors depends heavily on well-maintained hardware.

• Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
• Stainless steel fittings require specific stainless steel cleaners.
• Lubricate hinges, locks, and restrictors with silicone spray—not oil, grease, or WD40—to ensure smooth operation.
