finish and resistance to rot, warping, and insect damage, our aluminum products require less upkeep, providing you with more time to enjoy your outdoor space. To ensure the longevity and beauty of your investment, please follow these care and maintenance guidelines:
• Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the surface with a soft cloth or sponge and mild detergent solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads that may scratch the powder coat
finish.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners on powder-coated surfaces. Avoid contact with bleach, ammonia, or acidic cleaners, as they may damage the finish.
• Protect from Abrasion: Avoid dragging or sliding objects across powder-coated surfaces, as this may cause scratches or abrasions.
• Regular Inspections: Periodically inspect the powder-coated finish for any signs of damage, such as chipping, flaking, or corrosion. Promptly address any issues to prevent further damage and maintain the integrity of the coating.
• Touch-Up Painting: In minor scratches or chips, touch-up paint formulated for powder-coated surfaces can be used to repair damaged areas. Follow manufacturer instructions for proper application and curing of touch-up paint.
• Regular Maintenance Schedule: Establish a regular maintenance schedule to keep powder-coated aluminum products in optimal condition. Depending on environmental factors and usage, cleaning and inspection may be required quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.
